Default Reluctor Wheel Replacement

Searched, but could not find anything. Very basic question, but how hard is to replace the older styler reluctor wheel on an LS1 crank to the newer 58 element for an LS2? Is it a press fit? Crank is out of engine, it's an Eagle if that matters.

You need a special tool from a company called GOODSON, they do sell to the public, also it will need to be welded in place with some small 1/2" longish beads either side to male sure it stays put!

Super easy to do. Heat up the old one and smack it off. Put the new one in the oven slip it on and align it. I had to go from a 58x to a 24x; still have the alignment tool if your interested
