Default chain and sprocket kit

Does anyone know the difficulty level for changing the sprockets and chain out? Got mine in today and don't want to wait until buddy of mine has time (tomorrow). I didn't see the post in the how-to section. If someone could please point me in the right direction, I would be thankful.

Its relatively easy. You need a a 27 mm socket to take off the bolt and a crescent to hold the other side. Take out the axle. Remove the brake caliper. Remove your tire. Break the chain with your chain breaker. remove the sprocket cover. Remove the chain. Unbolt the bolt on the front sprocket. Remove your old sprocket, replace with new one. Remove bolts on tire holding old sprocket, replace with new, tighten up bolts. Rethread new chain. Press chain together with chain press. And now just put the tire back on and be sure to realign the chain to the correct tension. 45 minutes to an hour.

Well, check this out, I ordered the kit from dennis kirk online and was having "technical" difficulties and didn't think I completed the order. I called the 800 number and placed my order by phone. So, now I have 2 kits. I am looking to possibly trade the second kit for a rear stand at one of the local shops. The one I am thinking of carries PitBull stands. Fair trade? We'll see
