piece o cake man. Go to vfaq, look up lifter faq and read it. I would tell you how to do it myself, but this is a lot easier.

I agree with him^^ I had a mini crowbar, and a big flat head, and covered the rockers with a heave rag, just in case they rocketed off.

Yeah man, replacing lifters is one of the easiest things I have done on my car. Just make sure when you are prying it out you have some cushioning behind the crowbar and/ screwdriver so you don't start denting up the head. I had everything disassembled and reassembled in 2hrs my 1st time doing it so as long as you are careful it shouldn't be that hard. I reccomend replacing the valve cover gasket while you have it off too.
