OR OMP Line Removal question

Looking over the manual, and it's not very explicit on how to do this.

Not very mechanically inclined, so the questions arise:

1. Is it simple to do (for my skill level)?
2. Are there any step-by-step instructions available?
3. And would it be better to take it to a shop to do (it won't be cheap I bet)?

what exactly are youtring to do? there are 4 lines that go to the omp. all i have to tell you is that you need to remove the upper intake manifoldand all the vaccums. if you dont know what youre doing pay someone to do it.

detaching those lines at the injector isn't all that easy either. clearance is tough. It would be a good idea to replace all the crush washers. You will need to label everything carefully.

The original lines also have about a 75% chance of snapping off when you break the bolts or injectors loose. Soaking everything in penetrant is a very good idea. It's going to be fairly hard for someone inexperienced, but then again a shop will probably break them anyway.

I nicked a line when I replaced the lower radiator hose, so it needs to be replaced. I already have the tubing from MSC Ind.

But I'm getting the picture to be smart on this one and just take it in, correct?
