I did it myself with a friend's help. WHAT A P.I.T.A. I also replaced the upper mount, which involved lowering the gas tank so that we had enough room to pull the UCA mount out. It actually wouldn't be all that hard, except that even with being careful we mangled the torx bolts for the gas tank strap. One came out, but the other involved cutting the head off and removing with an extractor tool. Ended up having to run out and find 2 M10X1.5 bolts.

As for lowering the gas tank:
[ol][*]support tank, we used jack stands, a 2X4, and a floor jack to lower it[*]remove two bolts from the strap[*]Use floor jack (or honestly you can support it buy having one person hold it) to support, lower jack stand 1 notch and use the jack to lower the tank on the jack stand[*]remove UCA andmounting bracket.[*]replace UCA and mounting bracket.[*]Push up on gas tank, insert bolts, tighten.[/ol]
At least that's that we did; we finally got it yesterday afternoon.

I just did mine a few weeks ago. Didn't drop the tank but I didn't replace the mount. I just removed the two mount bolts from underneath then loosened the inside mount bolt enough to turn the mount to get the UCA bolt out. I took it to a speed shop to have them adjust the pinion angle, charged me $50.
