I CANNOT do the work myself!! So, I'm up the creek with no paddle... The guy who just replaced pads and cleaned my back brake used brake cleaner. I seriously don't know this stuff, and can't do it. I'm a motorcycle rider (with very good skills and safety, although NOT exceptional "racing" style skills), but I'm NOT a wrencher. I can do some basic stuff, but I don't have tools or knowledge. What you say would take a half day would yield a non-operational motorcycle for a month or more... This is OUT OF MY CAPABILITY!!!!
I basically hate living in my back-water home-town province of NS. Life here is crap. Too expensive... Rent/food... (Thankfully I have a house!!) Quality of professional work sucks!! Can't find work for myself... (350 job applications over 18 years trying and NOTHING...!!!) I applied for federal government immigration positions... Went to the passport office a few days ago to pick up new passport to go to Japan. Out of 20 workers, only 1 was a white man, and he was retirement age!! Meaning, they don't hire white men under the guise of "fairness and equity in employment". So even though white men are 35% of our population, we get our applications thrown into the B and C piles...
Anyway, back to my motorcycle, PLEASE DON'T say it's easy or "just a half day's work". That makes me further upset!! It might be easy for you, but not for others. I started learning Japanese at age 30 and I'm fluent speaking/reading/writing... But I'd never have the audacity to say that "learning Japanese is easy - just a year and you can be fluent". It all depends upon the person and his/her natural attributes and aptitudes.
