Worked perfectly, of course it's not very detailed.  The instructions are basically remove brake calipers, disconnect tie rod, disconnect steering knuckle from balljoint, etc...  On the first side I was reading the service manual constantly as I am completely new to doing anything but an oil change.  On the second side the BDS instructions worked great as a checklist to make sure I keep everything straight.

Did you have to grind on the upper part of the knuckle?

no, I didn't notice any clearance problems there.  The only thing I ground down was my strut to get the extensions to fit.  I will also have to grind off some of my shock mounts to get the new shocks in. 

I did notice that some of the front end components are different on the Tracker than on GV's.  The brakes are a different model (both bolts are the same size), and I didn't notice a lip on the WMS that I have heard about which would prevent wheel spacers from fitting right.
