As far as hard, it was not to hard, but very tedious, and you have to remove alot! compaired to the old school t-stats i remember changing on older vehicles i have owned.

As far as price, I had the t-stats, oil change and a coolant flush at the same time, and they only quoted me $380 for the whole job. For that quote I would pay to have it done then loose a whole saturday in my garage doing it myself.... But thats just me, Hope this helped, Mark
