I just did this on an 86 Toy last weekend. I am not overly mechanically experienced. One thing I found to be very helpful was making a template out of cardboard for the bolts. Another thing I did was remove the radiator, that made it a helluva lot easier getting to it and replacing all the parts. the whole thing took me about 7 hrs to do. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
