It'd of course be cheaper to do it yourself, granted you know what you're doing. If you've no idea how to do this, I'd probably say go with the shop since it's pretty deep in there.

yeah, its a pain in the bum bum. will cost somewhere around $1000 at a dealership i think. hard to justify on a 200k+ motor.
