i rly want to avoid having to pay the auto shop several hundred dollars for something that costs like no more than 100 bucks if i do it myself.

are either of these a major pain in the ***? what tools would i need and what are average times for these things for someone who does not tear into engines ever really..

 

also while im here, all of the flex tubing stuff that goes around all my engine wiring it breaking/crumbling apart...what is this stuff called so i can buy soem more and replace all of it

 

split-loom or Wire loom http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/se...ord=split+loom

 

that stuff is realllllyyyy cheap on ebay. Costs more at auto part store than online, but convience does cost more.
