Get a haynes and see if you feel competent enough to give it a try. I leave mine to the garage coz it would probably slip if i tried it and knack the valves but only you know if you feel comfortable doing it.

On an 8 valve it's quite easy. The Haynes book is quite good.

just make sure everything is locked off and marked just incase
