Erm its a difficult job, by all means you can try it yourself but you need expensive locking tools and are more than likely to f**k it up which will cost you in excess of £1000 to fix.

Its not difficult but you do need to fully understand the process and have the correct tools or else it will go wrong for you.

There are build manuals floating around the net or you can buy a copy from eBay but i urge you to read it several times before lifting a finger until you understand what it is you are doing. Tool wise, how do you plan to achieve the 30nm + 84deg, 40nm + 110deg and 100nm that the various sprockets need to be fixed at with the Halfords set? The fixings are all stretch types so under-tighten and they slip. Over-tighten and they fatigue, stretch and slip. You may be a dab hand with the spanners on other cars but get an F4R wrong and it will bite you to the tune of £900-1200.
