My biggest problem is...once I get down there on my back it takes the "Jaws of Life" to get me upright again.

I hear you, the 'Jaws' gets a workout because as soon as I get down there, I realize I forgot a tool or something and need to get back up!

I got charged $500 for mine. I pretty much got shafted. If I wasn't a car hauler always on the road I wouldve done it with some friends. Oh well.

CREEPER! First one I did without one and probably wasted 3 hours just crawling and rolling around. I put the front end way up high on some stands and was able to get it in and out by sliding it on some cardboard. The top bolts I got out with a 8" 3/8 ext and a u joint fairly easily. Just be slow and steady with it and you should be fine. Its huge but comes out alright with an xtra pair of hands.

And tell that shop to eat it. Any decent shop should be able to make it a 4 hour job
