2.0 Boom Replacement

Have a boom and guide rod replacement project for a 2.0. Deciding if I want to attempt it or if I should call in help. Does anyone have any advice on such a job??

Its a pain to get off...The hardest part is getting the lovejoy removed from the shafts of the boom and the boom tilt actuator. Once they are removed, you can tilt one side up and out and then the other, after removing the bearings from the guide rod... Pretty straight forward after getting the lovejoys removed.
