IMO if you have to ask how hard something is to install then you probably shouldnt be attempting the install. especially with gears.

It's definitely not you average do-it-yourselfer. I am lucky enough to have a good friend whois amaster mechanic.If it's not set-up correctly you'll be doing it again.

It's not too hard to swap gears but you risk your gear set if you make a mistake.

Unlike a bad intake install or exhaust install. It leaks, you tighten it up, redo it, find the leak and fix it again.

A incorrectly installed gear set can ruin itself.
