Doy:

If you are not a seasoned spanner man then the job can be very hard.
There are several specialists who can do the job depending on where you are.

As an insurance you might want to change the clutch too.

If you are in the West Midlands, try David at www.apiengines.com

Nightmares of doing it yourself, no help, no mates, in a single car garage...

After doing it 3 times, sod it.

PAY someone.
