I took my 1999 Ford Explorer XLS to the dealership and they want $500 to replace the synchronizer. I was wondering if it was an easy thing for me to replace myself along with my Dad(who is really good at fixing cars but he's never done this before).

If it helps, the engine is..
4.0 L
SOHC Pushrod V-6
I looked up the part, it's location, and a step by step guide on how to do it. I'm just wondering if anybody who has replaced a camshaft synchronizer could tell me how difficult it was to do it
 
synchronizer?

The only synchros I know of are in the manual transmission. That requires an overhaul and I guarantee a dealership won't overhaul any transmission for under 2 grand!
