This is one of those tasks that you're better off taking it to an indy shop. They have the proper tools and can put it up on a lift for inspection . The Stant kit is expensive and you won't work off the cost in a home garage. Euro shops will touch this task, other shops won't. They're afraid of elfen magic, I guess.
