GETA SERVICE BOOK!!! That will give you all the torque specs you need and some books even walk you through it! It's not hard, just time consuming. (I have done plenty of them)
There is more than enough knowledge on this site to help you out.

Thanks crazyhorse, nothing offensive but that's what dis courages me when I'm told dont do it yourself. I respect your input though, I need that once in a while cause Im so unsure of myself..lol...
The problem is with melacking confident to be able to do it. I wish I could have done this stuff when I was younger.

don't try it by yourself. if you have a buddy that has experience get him to help you, if no one is going to help you just pay a mechanic to do it .luk.
