Done it a few times. Not bad with the right tools. Need a dial indicator, magnetic base for dial indicator, maybe a decent set of calipers (for measuring shims), and a BOATLOAD of patience. Unless you get very lucky, you will probably install and remove about a dozen times til you get it right. Any questions, shoot me a pm.
