Ron makes a good point, although I wouldn't consider it to be intimidating, it is a pain to get the heat sink back on. The finals are held by screws which are difficult for fat fingers to keep in place (I finally realized that I should use a piece of electrical tape to hold them down). Also, make sure you re-test the finals for shorts to ground. I try to consolidate my trips under the heat sink as this is my least favorite part of going under the hood.
