It's not that bad. It's a two person job for sure though.
The toughest part will be getting the bolts broke lose from the upper and lower control arms and the emergency brake cable off the backing plates. I suggest you spray the bolts really good with some PB blaster the night before.
It's not that hard but like I said, you will need another person to help wrestle the rear into place and get it lined up.
ALso, make sure you jack the car up as high as you can get it.
