Is the S really that hard to align?

Default Is the S really that hard to align?

Since my bother in-law has his own shop I figured hey why not, got it done for free. He had a hell of a time trying to get 6.45 degrees of caster in the front. He reset and tried again and it ended up only showing 4.8 degrees of caster toe and camber were perfect. Going back next week to try again to get it to spec at least.

Is there any specific procedure for doing the front. Anyone have a factory manual that spells it out?

my buddy aligned my car not too long ago. I really dont think its hard but it does require a lot of patience because our S is very sensitive...YOu have to get them at the right spot...if theres anything hard, that would be finding the right spot on all four corners
