All in all, it's not that hard of a job to do if you have some mechanical knowlage. Just take your time to ensure everything is done properly. And we had a lot of fun doing it as a group of people and hanging out over the weekend.

Also interested - assuming it made a difference. I'm considering just doing the tensioner preventatively.
