I did my bearings this past weekend using the DIY. For the record, it can be done on jack stands, albeit a pain in the rear...literally.
Notes:
1. Make sure you do not push the piston rod too far up when trying to remove/install the top bearing. If you do, as I did, you will need to spin the crank to meet it then install the cap and then proceed. This was not a problem, but it involved crawling out from under the car a few extra times.
2. Could have just been me, but installing the oil pan and having the gasket line up was extremely difficult. I COULD NOT have done this without help.
3. Make sure you plug your fan back in at the end...otherwise your oil will get up to a higher temp then you are used to and you will freak out and think you screwed something up...
4. I tend to work slow and this was my 1st time tearing into one of these cars so it ended up taking me a total of 23 hours of labor. Slow and steady wins the race?
5: SYT_Shadow is the man
All this being said. If I were going to do bearings again in another 70k miles, I think I would the shop the $1,400 in labor.
