Really don't need to have it installed. Even if you not very mechanically inclined. It can be done with a catch pan and a socket set. you should just need to get more fluid and some gasket maker.

Very simple, 1/2 socket, oil pan, small hammer and flat chisel/ screw driver to lightly tap and pry, being its siliconed on. Remove , clean surface, and install new cover and fill.

Never did a diff cover swap or even a fluid swap other than engine oil on a vehicle and it wasn't too bad on the Raptor. Hardest part was breaking the seal on the old cover. Had to use a hammer and putty knife to break it loose. The instructions that come with the Mag-hytec are actually pretty good and there's a few threads here with pictures and details.

I also did the front diff for just a fluid swap. Now, that was a little more challenging due to space constraints.

I searched various internet vendors and was able to get the mag hytec cover shipped for around $230. Forgot the website though... Ordered all Lucas Oil synthetic products (same ones as advertised on SDHQs website) off of Amazon and picked up an oil pan from Walmart. I think I was all in at under $300. And like everyone else is saying, it takes about 20 minutes to do the whole thing, real easy.
