 My question is, have any of you done this job yourself? I'd appreciate
 knowing if this is something that can be done in a garage, or if you know
 someone in the SF Bay Area that is more reasonable. >>

Hey Craig,

I used Pete's Gearshop in Hayward.  He's on Foothill Blvd., right off highway 
238.  Nice guys and he knows his stuff.  He did my Quaife install for about 
$450.  That included all the gaskets, carrier bearings and a diff. bolt kit.  
I should have gone for all new syncros too, now I regret it.  Talk to Peter.

Reading through the Bentley, I wouldn't do it.  Special tools and shims 
required.

GL.
