Only problem with doing this DIY is that you need some special tooling (what else is new) and an understanding of how to reset the cams (ditto). Other than the tooling, it is not difficult, but it is time consuming and attention to detail is a necessity. Several people have done it and it has been written up on multiple websites, along with some real creative "homemade" alternatives to the factory tooling.
