Yes there are special things you need to know.
Like it's a press fit. You need to remove the old one and install the new one without messing it up. Then you need to align your engine and drive.

The first is where to find the manual.
Look at the stickys at the top of this forum.
There you will be able to find the factory manual that will tell you what special tool you will need as well as how to do it.

The alignment tool and most others can be had on eBay for great prices.
