Its not hard to do yourself, just check your clearances and be sure to replace all your bears. Be sure to shim it right.

RE: quoted for gears
Like? You prolly need an impact wrench, and basic handtools.
You dont have to pull the bearing off the other pinion. Go to your local hardware store and get a pinion bearing from them its usually a stocking iteam.
And I had somone press it on for me.

RE: quoted for gears
need to be careful on self install.
you will a micrometer to measure backlash also.
I was quoted $500 installed with speedo recalibrated too.
somethings are worth have a pro do.
dont forget your speedo if you're doing it yourself.

RE: quoted for gears
yes, you need a micrometer with magnetic base, they're
not that expensive.
Horse Power TV had a spot on changing gears, didnt look that hard
"if you knew what you were doing".
It has to be shimmed correctly and backlash has to be set right.
If you could find some good step by step instructions you should be able
to do it yourself.
again, dont know what it takes to calibrate the speedo.

install by themselves and they said they needed special tools
