I need to replace the catalytic converter as well as the catalytic converter pipe and the oil pan. My question is how hard is it to do this myself or have a mechanic friend do it. Ford wants upwards of 1000 just for labor! Is it really that hard?

Anything can be done if you put your mind to it and take your time, DIY car repair is common but you will need tools and a jack.
