The Hipshot is not that difficult to install if you have good wood working skills, patience, and the proper tools. The drawing provided with the unit will show you how to make a router template and how to properly align everything. Drilling the hole for the tower in the proper location is the one thing that you can't mess up. If you have any doubt about your abilities, have a bender installer put it in for you. There are a few good ones that post here. I have also had work done by Brian Friend and he is exceptional. In most cases, the cost of install is cheaper than the cost of replacement.
