Default Idler Arm and Pitman Arm install help

Well I got the front end inspected after putting 22's on last summer and they recommend I replace the idler arm, pitman arm and drivers inner tie rod end. They quoted me $800 for all 3 so I would like to do this myself and just spend the $120 on parts.

Is this going to be a daunting task? Are there any tricks to get these replaced? I'm sure someone on here has replaced these before...I here there common replacements.

these are all 3 very straight forward replacements........pickle forks, socket set, pliers, and a pitman arm puller,(can rent from most parts stores) measure the legenth of the inner and outer tierod end legnth to get close to right and then get an alignment when you are done........simple for the most part
