I just used the laser pointer method and it worked great.

try doing it yourself, it really isn't that hard, and yeah, it'd save you some bucks!
There is a putty method you can do a search for as well as the laser method. It ain't hard, but if you feel uncomfortable, then go ahead and pay someone. I have Vortex sliders and they seem pretty well thought out.

just cut the plastics. don't go with no cut sliders.

i bought OES sliders and it came with an alignment tool that worked great. putty or a sharpie would work as would the laser pointer tool. i wouldn't buy one just for that though. but if you have one you can use, go for it. it's really easy and you'll be glad you didn't spend the 100+ bucks for labor.

I used the laser method and it worked great. Just put the laser on a floor jack and jacked it til it hit the bolt and then put the fairin on and cut. Look up frame sliders in the search. Someone wrote up a step by step instruction guide to it with pics.

I just put the new bolt in first and it indented the heat shielding....
Came out fine
These are just tub drain gaskets from Home Depot.
Mine came out on center, but even if they didn't the gaskets look clean.
