I would want the peace of mind that someone knowledgeable did the work and will stand by it in the form of some kind of workmanship warranty. I feel mechanically savvy and I wouldn't do it myself.

Yeah, I even talked to my mechanic and he said he wouldn't want to do it due to being concerned with it not being balanced properly after install. 928 has a couple of authorized shops near me that can do it if I decide to go that route.

I did my own rebuild using 928 HS bearings kit
you do need a press and a pulley and bearing puller
they will need to press out the output shaft to release the assembly from the housing, will have to pull the bearings out and press back in, once bearings are all in place, take caution with returning the input/output shaft as they tempt to rotate because of the helical gears.
use these instructions for guidance

things to look out for:
make sure u place all the washers in their locations.
be careful pulling the input shaft in attempt to separate from output shaft as the bearing will bend the oil slinger.
when pressing the impeller back on, make sure u don't press it too far causing the seal to bulge which will leak air pressure in causing the blower to shoot oil out the vent gap.

the link provided has some revisions at the bottom.
read through the instructions multiple times, understand them and read them again (or have the shop read over them)

good luck
