Since I got in my car after class and it almost didn't turn over and sounded really nasty and such, I knew it was going for a while just was holding back on replacing it.
While easy it was still more of a pain I thought it was going to be. . . This was the first time I have ever worked on my car by myself and it took me about an hour as I needed to figure out what needed to be taken out and was just being careful. It works perfectly now and sounds a lot better than it did before. Oh and for those of you who think it is "easy, it is only 2 bolts", those bolts are a pain to get to and get a socket to.
