Its really easy, look up the walkthrough where it shows where to drill and its cake. If you want to do it without drilling the holes in the inside of teh door then its a pain.Ive heard of placed charging $100 or so.

usually not, go to autozone and buy one. They arent the greatest quality but they have a lifetime warranty and are the same on both sides, so when(not if) your other one goes bad take the one you remove today in and get a new one...and so on.Thats what I do.

64k miles and both have been replaced.

If I can do it, you can do it.

Read the write-up, buy the motor from Autozone, you'll be done before your third beer.
