long as you know how to set the backlash, then it isn't hard. more times than not, if you get FMS gears, you can just put them in and the backlash will still be dead on.

I know what you mean, on most mods you can totaly screw up doing it yourself and learn a very good leson and do it right the second time around and still save money over having it done in a shop, research and give it a shot yourself.

find a buddy that's done the install before. get him to help you with the install so you learn and get it done right the first time. saves you money and you learn. should only cost ya a case of beer or so.

Do you have a press? Micrometer? Dial Indicator? Slide hammer? The tools list goes on and on. Your best bet is to find someone you can throw a few bucks that has the tools and can teach you....
