Brian:

I've done this both on a GT6 and Spitfire, and from what I can tell, the
TR6 isn't much different.  Removal is the easy part, two hours max, even
the first time.  The reinstall will take about twice as long as it took
you to take it out.  Label everything and/or be clear about how things
go back.
