If hes ASE certified and its taken him that long he obviously isnt a hands on kinda guy. I replaced my optispark in 3 hours. of course i had air tools and a lift at work (im a mechanic) but it simply wasnt a hard job at all. yeah you have to take off the water pump which is 8 bolts total i think, and then the air pump which is 3. the radiator and fans come off in 2 seconds. everyone makes this more complicated than it is. just take your time as other guys said. an enjoy the beer and tunes!

well i work for a parts store and i know that sometimes the shops around town arent smart enough to get all of the parts before hand so you they end up waiting on a part to get ordered, so if they start on like a friday and they forgot something they would probably be until the next tuesday to get it.
