I've had to replace mine twice. If you have the right kind of screwdriver and are comfortable getting under the dash (i.e. put your legs on the seat back and stuff your head and shoulders in the footwell) it isn't too difficult. It is a little easier if you remove the left HVAC vent. If you need a little more room you could remove the driver's seat.

I consider this a personal decision based on your level of health and fitness. If you already have a back or neck problem, it is probably going to be less expensive to pay your independent mechanic than to shell out for a visit to your orthopedist. If you are still relatively limber, do it yourself.

Good luck with your decision.
