It is very easy to install yourself. There is a PDF instruction sheet on the Messicks website. Just make sure that you order the correct kit, the one with all flat-faced couplers. Whomever you order it from, let them look up the number because if it comes in wrong, it isn't your fault. I gave Messicks the part number and told them that I wanted the flat-faced couplers, and I got the wrong kit with Pioneer couplers. What is really stupid, is that they have 2 different kit numbers for the same machine, and I have never seen a BX23S with pioneer couplers ever! The kits are specific to the BX23S machines.
