From what I gather its a bolt off - bolt on thing + some thought and care ... worth a crack. If anyone has done it and has some advice to impart, let me know.

Easier said than done, front one is a bitch to put back on properly, and get the gasket right - without a nice workshop stand. I think in hindsight it would have been easier to hoist the front and drop the front wheel off.
