The fronts go on and off pretty easy. As for the rear, I ran into two problems. The large nut at the bottom of the rear shocks are REALLY hard to remove. I highly suggest an impact gun for this. If I didn't have an impact gun, I probably would have had to use a super long cheater bar.
Also, when removing the bolts for the rear shocks that are in the interior, there was SO MUCH rust on the threads of the bolts that when unscrewing them, the bolts snapped. These bolts are secured to nuts that are spot welded to the sheet metal from underneath. So I used the left over bits of the bolts still stuck, and screwed in the bolts back into the ones that would screw in and out, used a hammer, and punched out the nuts that are spot welded. I went out and bought similar nuts and bolts, of a higher strength and resistance to corrosion, and reinstalled by me getting underneath the car holding the nut in place with a ratchet, while I had someone else tighten the bolt from the interior of the car.
