If you can chew gum and walk at the same time you should have no problem with the rebuild. The leaks between the two pieces is a notorious problem on Rochesters...the fix is suppose to be a heat/cool cycle while fixtured to a rigid plate. This is a procedure performed by professionals.
Everything is included in the kit. The only item that could be a problem would be the proper "soaking" medium. Berryman makes a neat 1 gallon carb cleaning can, complete with little basket.
The cleaner is caustic and VERY smelly. Gloves would be mandatory, and it would be wise to use it in the far corner of the back yard!
Compressed air would be needed to blow out passages and dry the parts after washing with a hose.
To end this novel..yes, it's easy if you follow the directions. You need the cleaner and a small compressor, or some source of air. If the truck is running fine now, I don't think you are going to see much difference with a rebuild though.
