i installed my 3.55s myself and its not hard untill you get down to setting the wear pattern on the gears. that is very important. if you dont get it correct the gears will whine or even break. if you can pull the pumpkin out and buy the gears and shims with new brearings and everything. then take it to a shop to have the gears installed and setup correctly. then just take it home and install the pumpkin yourself. might save a little money and then you can say you installed the gears yourself.
