Thanks for the input, but I have a hard time wrapping my arms around this type of repair on a 10 year old car with 165K miles. Between the throttle body I had replaced about a year ago along with pending repair to the ABS control module, a new strut mount and miscellaneous other items I am pretty much content to live with stuff like a leaking rear main seal given what is involved and the suggestion for things you might as well do at the same time.
My son-in-law has access to the auto shop at a local army base and could probably do this for me with the help from some friends for $200-300, steaks on the grill and a case of beer, but I will probably just try to enjoy the car more or less as is until it becomes undriveable.
I don't want to sound ungrateful for the advice offered here and realize that at a certain point these cars need a bit more TLC than a Nissan Sentra.
