Replacing the oil sub-pan is easy...replacing the aluminum section above it is a bit more involved. I'd ask why do you need to replace it? And, if you got a quote of $400+ to replace the sub-pan go anywhere else to have it looked at. If it is the sub-pan, you can do it, but why bring the car up to operating temperature? Whatever has settled in the pan will remain there when it's cold.
