Yann- Where are you located? The DC Metro is a rather large area. And doing it yourself, or with the help of a kind stranger, will, as Lujo says, be quicker than taking it to a shop.

Z DC A5X A12X ------------ I need to "do" the doohickey sometime this summer after I get back from my two-week jaunt on the VFR.
