how much work/how difficult was it?
took me about three hours, make sure to look at a couple dfferent tutorials. some tell you to remove the motherboard and heatsink, but you can leave a lot of stuff connected to the middle frame. as for screen removal, i bought the ifixit iopener and followed their guide when i got to that section.
jsaux makes the best tutorial, but watching multiple still helped and this wasn't the jsaux kit so some of the steps were different.
good luck if you attempt it, if you are patient and take your time you should do fine
