I wasn't sure about doing mine either. It was pretty straight forward, just take your time when you pull it apart and make sure you get the pump hose lined up properly when putting it back together. Also make sure you get a good set of snap ring plyers, there are a couple that will just bend a cheap pair. Two sets of hands helps also. Like I said though, not hard at all.

If you can, get the super short before it ships. The extra few dollars is worth it for the additional length.

Should be no problem, just check your internals when you have case split. Shift fork, chain tension, bearing play, etc etc. There will be acceptable specs for everything listed in a shop manual. Unless something is just obviously worn out, then change it up.

good luck
