Default I was quoted 2 hours labor at $85 an hour. I opted to buy the tools listed in the tech section
for installing a SS and do it myself. You CAN do it yourself and it might take more than two hours but overall it's a good learning experience. Just take your time and start on a Saturday or Sunday morning, allowing enough daylight time to backtrack if you need to. It's not a do-it-after-work project for a first timer. But again, you CAN do it.

Default do-it-yourself. I've done it with one hand behind my back...
Really, I have. I slammed my hand in a car door and my thumb was splinted and immobile, but I still did the SS install alone :-)
