Just bought a refurbished Otari. How difficult the tape path upgrade?

How difficult is the tape path upgrade for the Otari mx 5050?  I've built one bottlehead kit before, so I'm thinking this would be easier since it is mostly a mechanical upgrade?

I just ordered it, so I will let this thread know how it goes.  I don't anticipate problems.

Hope all went well. With all the tiny spacers it is smart to line a baking pan (cookie sheet with sides) with white paper to lay out and assemble the guides. Finding the spacer that fell on the floor is time consuming.
