Take it in its obvious you don't know what you are doing if you have to ask here. And do you have the right tools to do the job. You might cause more problems not knowing what you are doing.

Have you looked on YouTube for videos on how to do it?

I would say do some more wed searches on how to do it before coming to a decision on whether to bring it in or do it yourself. If you take it in, ask your local area for suggestions on a good independent shop.

Yes. However, here is very little difference between an 80 and 90.
