Although I haven't changed/replaced my T/C rods, I would have to recommend working with the wheels off... You will definitely find it easier to work with that much more room!
I take it you got T/C rods with whiteline bushings pre-pressed? Let us know how they feel, I'm going to be in the market for t/c rods after Xmas. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
