The book calls for 5 hours labor and the part is listed at 89.00. Add for coolant and any hoses that are needed. As far as difficulty, on a scale of 1 - 10, I would say a 5.

If you are just starting out, you need to look into getting flat rate information. Mitchell 1 ondemand has a great estimator that provides labor time and part costs. That is where I got your info from. Check it out. It will be very helpful for you to estimate repair costs. I believe you can access it from our site, but there is a fee. Perhaps they will allow you to test it.

Let me know if you have other questions.
