Question, I read on QuickServe that thing weighs more than 50lbs. Is this a job I can do myself? After removing all bolts does everything just slide off?

And, it talks about pulling 2 bolts and replacing them with guide pins before removing the remainder of the bolts. Do those pins come with the new part or are those purchased separately?

It's heavy but doable by one man and some hand tools. The guide pins can be easily made by purchasing some long bolt that match the thread pattern of damper bolts and cut the head off of them. It's not necessary to have the guide pins but it helps hold it up and align it while starting the other bolts.
