Thanks all for the compliments. Do not be afraid! This can be done by someone with average
mechanical skills and the help of a buddy or two. Unfortunately the Bentley manual (IMO) is not written for the average owner, but between this walk-through and the Bentley, it's definitely do-able.

Took me about 6 or 7 hours,
sTTevo and nasTTcar help out where I needed, but sTTevo was working on his son's Jetta at the same time and John had to take off early. Plus we took a break for lunch and I was taking pictures throughout.
If I did it again, didn't stop to take any photos, I think it could be done in under 5 hours. If you had the car on a lift, all tools handy and two of you focused on it (i.e. ideal conditions), probably 3 hours.

Don't forget that Adam helped out there too. Anyone contemplating this job, be advised:
This is not the kind of job where massive consumption of beer is a good idea. Rich stayed really focussed throughout and never swore or threw tools. I admire his mechanical and technical writing skills.
