4-wheel Alignment

Has anyone here done a 4-wheel alignment at home and has a DIY written up?

There's tons of write ups on the topic (Google & Youtube)
IIRC someone here mentioned doing his own, but I don't recall anyone posting a DIY.

I'm in the process of gearing up to do my own though.

Alright thanks, I talked to my uncle's shop and they said they need a special tool to work on the car. If and when you do your alignment could you tell me if it's required. Thanks

There is a BMW tool for the rear toe adjustment.
I believe it's one of those tools that makes the job easier but not absolutely necessary.
It's one thing on my list to get more info on.

Here's the rear toe tool.
It is definitely not 'needed' but makes fine adjustment easier.
