well if you mess it up you'll know it right away. and then you can drive under 20 mph to your local auto shop and have them fix it in like less than 20 min.

i havent done it but it seems easy enough, just make sure you tighten everything to specs, or just good and tight!

Done with just a little care to make sure you're reading the tape measure accurately, that method is a very tried and true way to set your toe-in. That's even how most 4x4 shops set the toe-in after installing a lift. I've used that method for 7-8 years and my tires have always worn perfectly evenly, go for it. Having someone help by holding one end of the tape measure will help a lot. Just make sure you're measuring at the same location on the tires and that the tape measure is reasonably level. Straightening the steering wheel using that webpage's instructions couldn't be easier. :)
