It wasn't hard at all. You definitely need a couple long ratchet extensions to get to the bolts and a torque wrench to properly tension them back on. You definitely want to be careful tightening them properly or you risk stripping the aluminum block. I would recommend having an exacto knife on hand and a couple screwdriver pick/hooks. Half of my old gasket broke in its grooves and its was hard and stuck in place so I had to mess with it for a while, picking at it piece by piece until it all came off. Like I said its not really that hard, just time consuming removing the air filter housing, setting the power steering fluid reservoir aside, and other things. Do you have to get this done to your x?

And my milage right now is at 271K and going. I hope I can go over the 300K marker without Max becoming rebellious.
