yeah man definitely watch the video series on you tube a few times then give it a crack,
it might look a bit confusing but once you get down there it is pretty simple but can be time consuming on your first time.
just take your time and make sure you mark the original height before you begin... and also study the measurements of how far each spline will
drop/raise it.
here is a good calculation table for that
