[QUOTE="SLK50, post: 1331026, member: 4790"] I've done it. It's relatively simple. FSM is essential. Two people toward end of removal / beginning of install helps a lot. You should have a floor jack. For some reason I remember the drive shaft being key towards end of removal. Take your time, be neat, be methodical. Take pictures of all connectors before separating. Maybe tape and label connectors and critical bolts, etc. Check and re-check EVERY bolt and connector during and after installation. Take breaks, don't rush. Possible to do in one long day. Easier in two, I think. Don't hesitate to ask to help / advice. Good luck. Oh, one last thing. You might want to consider checking the valve clearances while the engine is out of the frame. You'll be glad you did. [/QUOTE]
