I was changing the rear brakes today on my buddies Alero and I realized that he has two bent lateral links. Can anyone give me a link with photos as a step by step on how to change these? Is it a very hard/complex job? It doesn't look like it will be but these things can surprise you. Please chime in!

Thanks,

Jeff

step by step...
Unbolt the old one... and bolt the new one, dont mix the camber bolts and reinstall them properly... get the car aligned by a shop....

Do I have to unclip the brake lines and move them out of the way to get to the bolt on the knuckle? Also on the cross member what do I have to mark for the toe adjustment? I am not sure what they mean by that?
