its not to hard, im not sure about a SD but i can do a set on an OBS in about 3.5 hours. only thing you might have to do is modify a 10mm socket to get it by the rocker arm.

10mm 1/4 drive deep well and your set.

Remove IC pipes, remove valve covers, remove glow plugs, reinstall glow plugs, reinstall valve covers, reinstall IC pipes... done.... A few things left out there, but if you cant figure out the wire harness and such, maybe you should not be working on a PSD...
