Nah, it's really not that bad. Sure, you'll spend at least a full day at the job ... & get reeeeeeeal dirty but the satisfaction of doing it yourself is priceless.
The real PITA is for me to get my diff brackets back. I've only got 3 sets in the float & can only account for 1 (being modified for Jo as we speak). One set is lost somewhere in the UK & the other set is rumored to be somewhere in TX.
I agree, it WAS a pain to be under there getting all dirty & stuff...
But now, every time I look under there, & see how flat my CV shafts are, I get a big grin, & the feeling of satisfaction that only a job well done can bring....
