No, pulling the engine isn't necessary.

Good, thats what I wanted to hear.

Any gueses on what this job might cost at a shop. Just looking to get a "Ball Park" figure in mind. That way I know if some shop is trying to get one over on me.

MY guess would be around $300 from a good reputable shop. It really is not that hard to replace, have you considered doing it yourself. First time, should only take about a saturday. Just kidding. If you have the parts before you start, you should be able to do it in about 6 hours. You dont need any special tools. The only tool that You might not have is a 24mm socket(at least I think thats the size) to remove the crank pulley bolt. Everything els is a 10mm and 12mm socket. pretty easy.

I agree- if you are handy with tools this is a fairly easy DIY job. Also a good time to replace the timing belts since you have to take them off to do the job.
