Yeah....take your time.....label everything...dont let anyone tell u not to do it that way...may take longer but makes it alot easier to get it back together and not have any extra bolts!!!

Yeah be patient, you need to label all your nuts and bolts, and parts.
Be sure to clean the cylinder surface real good with light sandpaper.
It took me about 2 days to do my swap. A day to dismantle and a day to put back together.

If you are even slightly mechanically inclined, you should be just fine doing it yourself. Like everyone said, LABEL EVERYTHING and keep it organized. Also getting a Haynes manual would probably help you out.

i also did the parts in bags and labeled them, and you could also take a few pics
of the motor before you tear it down, then you can refer to the pics for where sensors
go and what not, its not all that hard
