Did this job over the weekend. Ratchet angle screwdriver is a must. I used a drywall bit to get the JIS screws out with no problem and replaced the screws with stainless steel phillips. Had to take the heads off twice because the first time I pinched the rubber (no tears thank god). I used two 3mm washers from Home Depot on each needle. I noticed a 5 mpg drop in fuel economy (53 to 48), but the throttle response, lack of bogging down at low RPMs, and majorly reduced time to warm from cold made it totally worth it. Highly recommend.
