Some on here have done it and found it to be relatively easy ... but if your car is older and all the bolts are seized, or if you don't have the appropriate tools, or you don't have a decent place to do the work, or you don't have a lot of experience with this kind of work ... then you might be in for a challenge.

I personally have chosen to pay a mechanic to do it the two (or is is three) times I've done that conversion.
