Shlim - I changed mine recently and it was starting to crack on two sides. Maybe all in my head but the car does feel tighter.
stateofidleness - I changed mine at the same time I did the water pump and drained the coolant. It seemed to make it much easier since the coolant pipes are out of the way. I have to hand to folks that change it out while the pipes are in place. It took me some time but wasn't very 'hard', I'd say a 3 out of 10. There are some nuts that are hard to reach but the right tools will help. It can be confusing putting it back together, I took a picture while it was on my bench so it was a snap to put back together.
