Yes it sucks! But not hard only time consuming

I used the Chilton's manual as well as posts from here. The hardest parts were getting the Cam pulleys, center shaft pulley (sorry the part name is not coming to me), and picking the seals out.

I used a strap wrench for the cam pulleys, to hold them and swore really loud to get the bolt loose.

A 3 inch gear puller for the center pulley and a broke all but one hook tools. I bought a multi purpose hook tool from the hardware store for $5.

I know it adds time taking out the radiator, but I dediced not to take a chance of screwing it up and I needed the extra room.

To do it again I would say it is a one weekend job, but the first time it took 2 weekends for me.

The cost savings doing it yourself are incredible compared to what I have seen posted.

If you have a second vehicle incase it takes longer than planned I would say do it yourself. And order your parts atleast 2 weeks ahead of time.
