Only you can make the decision on whether or not tackling this job is right for you.
But here are some questions to ask yourself:
1. Do I understand what "timing" is and why it is important?
2. Do I have a good assortment of tools (or do I use a screwdriver as a hammer and a pry bar?)
3. Do I have the patience of Job?
4. Can my car be down for a few days/weeks if I need to order more parts or to replace parts I break once I get started?
I have a reasonable amount of confidence in my abilities, I have lots of tools and a closed in garage to work in - however, I do worry that something "else" might need to be replaced once I get started. Therefore, I will probably do this job on my next vacation week. I'll start it the weekend prior so that if I need to order something, the car can sit for a few days while I wait on the UPS guy.
I know noR mentioned it took him a while because he only had time after work to do the job....
So I think the following things are most important:
1. time
2. tools
3. patience
