I have a kfx400 and plan to install some aftermarket a arms +2. I am not a mechanic but have some layman knowledge with tools. How difficult is it to install these arms by yourself? And aside from your basic tools, are there any other tools necessary like the ball joint remover? Thanks for you answers.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

You will need a vise or press to push out the A-arm pivot needle bearings and the steering knuckles from the arm. Thoese parts are press fit. Be careful not to damge those numerous oil/dust seals around the pivot bearings. Check the tightenss of the needle bearings when they are out. Replace them if feel loose, and don't reuse them. And apply plenty grease where ever there is friction when you install them back. It's just time consuming if you want to do it right, not too difficult. I spent little less than a 1/2 day on my 4WD (maybe less if it was my neighbor's). You are lucky that yours is 2WD.
