Sure. It's just a bit of a pain gettin everything else out of the
way.

Me, I happened to find a long-established local VW shop that hadn't replaced oill cooler seals on a T3 in a long time. They quoted me (in writing) $125 labor to change the seals... when I went to pick up the car, the mechanic told me "I'd forgotten what a pain in the ass it was to change those seals", but stuck to the price he'd agreed on.

I could tell it was going to be a royal frustrating pain in the butt (with much colorful language and blood loss) if I'd attempted to do it myself. =)
