Yeah, stretching the sleeve by hand will give you blisters. I use a pair of long nose vise grips with silicone tubing over the jaws to stretch and hold the sleeve in place. Works pretty good and doesn’t damage the sleeve or wire with the rubber tubing on the jaws.
Change the cabin a/c filter (very easy, no tools needed. It is behind the glove box is most vehicles) and the engine air filter. The amount of shit in there will boggle your mind. Save your self a bunch of troble and get a pair of needle nosed vice grips for the rear drums. it makes grabbing and pulling the springs very easy. You can have those cocksuckers done in 20 min per side.

Outer tie rod ends are easy too. The inners might be harder depending on how the steering is set up in the truck. Give it fresh tranny fluid, coolant, oil, & brake fluid if it hasn’t been changed. Bad brake fluid with rain water and shit in it can make your bake lines rust inside if they haven’t started already. That will make your calipers not want to work. Id say maybe change the brake hoses too if you still have it apart. Id recommend getting the injectors cleaned or doing it yourself if you have the tool to do it.
Several people have reported stripping their WP screws on LULU.
The general advice applies: use the largest screwdriver than can possibly work, make sure it's very well-seated in the head before turning, keep firm downward pressure while turning, etc.
If it still ends up damaged, you might need to move on to needle-nose locking pliers (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000BYD9A). There are also "screw extractor" type tools, but they work by drilling into the screw head, leaving metal shavings around...which would require careful cleaning afterward, but is sometimes the only option left.
