You need to be very careful where you take this to be done as without the correct tool it is very hard to do. Not any old backstreet dealer can do it. If it seems to cheap to be true then it probably is and you will end with with a whole lot of issues.

I'd be willing to spend a day out and travel for this price, can I ask who it was?
Thanks,
