Skilled Mechanic Help?

Anyone have any decent experience on working with the insides of a RX8?! I need help replacing a SSV ACTUATOR. The dealerships are overpricing me by to much

Doesn't look too difficult, couple-three hours.
I'm putting together an install party in Vancouver on Sunday. This is the kind of project could take center stage if you want to come up.
