Message	Easy DIY if you have a vise & LARGE circlip/retainer ring pliers. You can't buy these pliers at typical auto supply. A transmission shop would know where to get them ( a trans has circlips this large)Or you can order them on line. They need to be able to handle a 3 inch ring. THEN, follow those Z1 site instructions...30 minutes max. However, if you cannot separate your old CHRAs from their housings (rust, corrosion, heat welded, etc.)Or those housings are cracked, you'll need new/used good housings...and you won't know that until you start to take them apart...and for that you'll need the TOOL !
