Hardest part is turning the motor over to the correct adjusting point....only because you need to remove the fan and shroud and they are difficult to extricate ..
anyway when i did mine I cut the lower half of the fan shroud and made it removable so now I only remove two M6 bolts and can get access to the crankshaft nut (ps you need a 46mm socket)
and a bit of patience

how much would it cost to get a mechanic to do it? im driving to the snow on saturday 17th of june (Brizzy to Canberra, Then to Thredbo) and will be working until thursday the 15th of june so i only got the friday to really get organised and wont have time to check. So im gonna get the mechanic to do a major service before i go. roughly whats the going rate for a mechanic to do it???
