To be BLUNT:

* This is NOT a fast DIY = one day or less.
* This is NOT an easy DIY = it requires special tools, muscle, technical skill + math.
* This is NOT a cheap DIY = parts, tools and your time learning the skill.

The difficulty rating on this is 9.5 of 10.

This is one of the MOST rewarding do it yourself jobs =
* Typically 1/3 the cost of a short block. :D
* You never have any doubt about what was done or how it was done. :D
* The satisfaction of doing it yourself.. :D
* The knowledge that you have a valuable new skill. :D
