Yeah, unless you have the proper tools and have done a set before, take it to someone to have them put it.
You can do it yourself but you need some tools that aren't in a everyday tool box.
If you've never done one before and you want to install them, find someone that will help you do it that has done it before.

I have done two sets one turned out perfect the other began to make noise and subsequent attempts have not quieted them and I am a fairly experianced shaedtree mechanic.
This is not a beginers project.
Need a press, bearing splitter, dial indicator, capilers are good to have too, magnetic base for indicator, BIG socket set with tools capable of backing it up, I know on my 8.5" rear the pinion nut is 1 1/4" and you will need air or a BIG breaker bar to tighten the crush sleeve. ultra low ange torque wrench capable of say 1-50 INCH POUNDS measurement beam type works best. Having done it and having a good selection of tools I still consider this to be a full day project figure on a whole weekend for your first attempt and then to maybe have to go back and try again if it makes noise.

I would not do it alone if you never have. Find someone that has to walk you through it. After you have done a few then you learn the tricks. I did my 4.56's adn they are fine, first set. But like Dwayne, I was not a rookie at seeing one apart either.
