When you get it in, a word of advice on the bolts. Torque 'em down to spec, then run the hell out of it for about 20 mins. Get it as hot as it'll get, then (being careful not to burn yourself), re-torque 'em. This really cuts down on bolts loosening up on you...

You should be able to do it... or I would assume. I have done it on older daks to replace broken mounts, by using a floor jack and a few blocks, jacking it up a few inches, but I havent had to do it to the new dak yet
