mine have been cracked for some time, how hard is the job and is the template good? or does it make it easier?? They were back ordered forever and I just got them.

I have only done the passenger side, had a broken stud, it was a minor pain.
Penetrating oil and a wire brush was helpful with the down-pipe hardware, they were pretty rusty.
