it's NOT hard at all. I'm mechanical enough to change brake pads/rotors. I painted my own bumperettes and also installed the 987 shifter console.

i used the B&M instructions which I found online through this site - it made it pretty easy. I took a long time to do mine because i was very slow, didn't want to break anything, put all the little bolts into zip lock backs, marked the bag so I knew what place it came out of...very anal....

now that I have done the install once - I could get the part out and redo it in a couple hours MAX. none of it was HARD.

if you want to get the part - I would say go for it. If I can do it, I think pretty much anyone with a remote degree of mechanical ability would be able to do it very easily.

i bought a kit from sunset for removing interior panels - it had all kinds of little plastic pry tools which made it a bit easier - teh tools don't scuff/damage the plastic body panels....

most of the parts just popped right out and when i put it back together, they all snapped back together very nicely. nothing broke - so dn't be afraid to pry/pull on the stuff you need to.

i would not have been able to figure it out w/out the instructions I had though - I needed that to figure out how to take the center console out. if you get those instructions and follow them you'll be fine.
