So again how difficult is this DIY job? Thanks in advance for any replies!

P.S. I have an electrical engineering degree so I'm decent when it comes to fixing things. I've also changed the oil myself on this car if that helps in comparison...
the sleeve can be a pain in the rectum. but everything else is easy if you follow the diy.

i was 17 when i did this, nd did it again couple months ago along with a new sleeve.
