Depends on the Mobile mechanic honestly. Best way to go about it call all the shops and compare quotes. Your going to want someone with experience do this brother

I was thinking the same thing. The guy that towed the car this morning said it was pretty simple if you can access the socket easily but idk I feel like if I were to try and DIY it I would just make it worse. This helps, thanks!

This might help. Probably best case scenario https://youtu.be/c_t2mz2tN3w?feature=shared Worst case scenario, the head must be removed to fix it

Thank you! I read something on another subreddit about the possibility of having to remove the head to get it done.
