Tad,
The answer lies inside a bigger question.  How handy are you tackling
big jobs with lots of parts to keep track of?  If the answer is
"Not-So", take it to your local lbc mechanic.  If the answer is "So-So",
get yourself a good manual and have at it.  If your answer is "Oh-So",
you can feel comfortable in doing the job yourself.
