it is a very easy job to do yourself, 3 hours max if all goes well. whatever you do, ORDER NEW ADJUSTER BOLTS AND NUTS BEFORE YOU START, i broke one of mine and had to wait 3 days to get new ones.

It only takes some hand tools and multipurpose grease to do the job. It would be easier with an air impact wrench for the adjuster bolt, but it's not necessary. I've done it a few times myself, no air tools here, just my arm gets tired.
Have you looked at the writeup at 4x4wire?

I've got some stuff on my website here .
It's from a 2wd, but they should be very similar.
Truthfully, the hardest part about it is the physical putting it back in because of the alignment of the notch in the splines.
The other thing I did on my tbars was shaving a spline. You shouldn't have to do that though.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
