How difficult is replacing a cpu and heatsink? (AM2)

I have never done this but I have a new cpu and a new heatsink and fan.

The most I have done is replace ram and videocards.

By the way my heatsink is coolermaster vortec 752. I'm more worried about taking the existing one off though...

Should I try this or wait and get someone to show me?

Anyone know of a good guide?

Its really straightforward and unless you are really worried about it I wouldn't be concerned.

there are many guides on the net, however coolermaster have an installation guide for the vortex on their site, for some reason they used a jpeg format instead of PDF so it takes a little while to download if you are on a slower line.
