Removing the old sleeve is simple.
Pressing in the new sleeve can be DIY or most engine shops can do it for you.
Boring the cylinders requires special knowledge, skill, and equipment, few are equipped to DIY.

The pistons are rarely damaged, and good used ones are cheap = reuse them.

New MB Pistons are HIGH priced, because of quality / durability.
