I did it with just me and my kid. It wasnt bad. The hardest part is the side bars. You have to cope them at a really really weird angle. I messed up one side, but it will still work. I can get more pics. I plan on making the front removable. Im taking the two front bars and having the lower legs bent outward to allow for more leg room getting in. I will get pics of that later also.

Just buy an extra set of rockers, putting new ones in every 30 years isnt that bad is it?
These rockers had been replaced once before, thats whats crazy. I just want the big chunks out. I will see what i can do.. wish i remembered were that post was.
