I just had mine replaced 2 days ago.
Only charged me 1 hour labor. $70 or ten skinned knuckles and a sore back and whatever else could have gone wrong? I paid gladly.
For some reason ( to get more room to work?) they took off the top motor mount and jacked the engine up a bit. Might be something to consider if you feel comfortable doing so.

Good luck. Let us know how you make out.

P.S. In the past I've found the projects like this are a really good opportunity(sp?) to make up new swear words. Let us know what you come up with.
