My God! One of most simple jobs to do on the car. Of course, the instrument comes out, but that's all. Even that is a standard thing to do on these cars. After that, it is to take the nuts off and pull the thing out. Sure, one can drain the brake fluid tank and clip off the other tubes until the new one is back. And its a good time to clean the container out of gunk. But a standard mechanic won't do those anyway. You can do it in twenty minutes if you did it a few time before. Otherwise, two hours. Zoltan
