its just nuts and bolts. nothing is difficult about this job except remembering the sequence you take it apart. i would strongly suggest getting a service manual and follow step by step instructions. before i start this job i make sure my bench is clean and lay out the parts in order that i removed them and keep the bolts with the part it came off of. slow and steady wins the race. leave yourself a day to do the job, isuggest start to finish the job in one sitting so you keep it fresh in your mind. good luck and let us know if you get stuck
