Hi:
The book calls for 2.5 hours in labor and 25.00 for OEM parts.

The reason for the hours labor is because you need to remove the plennum to replace the rear cover. It is some work, but if you take your time and have a little mechanical ability, you should be able to do it.

If you need a manual, go to:

This is cheaper than purchasing a manual.

Let me know if you have other questions.
