How hard to replace the shocks and wheelbearings? 86.5 without TEMS. I've searched and have seen that a lot of you have done it and was just wondering how hard/easy it was.
Thanks

yep, it's basically unbolt/bolt job 
Bearings aren't hard, just consumes more time, because you have to remove brakes, then latter on bleed them and so on, but its ~2h job.

depends if you are replacing the front or rear bearings....quite a bit more has to be removed to replace the rears.
It'll be much quicker to take out the rears because you don't have TEMS compared to my job, but the first time took me about 4 hours in/out. I'm noob->moderate in my supra fixing skills. I've done it about 4 times now, and am down to 1.5 hrs to have the set in/out.
Shop time for strut replacement is 1.5 hrs.
Shop time for wheel bearings replacement is 8.8 hrs
Big job
