Hardest part is getting the 5/6 driven gear off without damaging or destroying it. Some come right off, some don't. The rest of it is a cakewalk if you're mechanically inclined at all.

Be ready to do that **** about three times. you will miss one teeny piece and have to pull half of it apart to add it, and forget another. its doable though.

The biggest issue with building the unit is to know what to look for damage wise . Tearing it a part is not hard and putting it back together is not real difficult either as long as you only do it once .
