Help pulling my ARB out

So last week at all for fun I destroyed the copper line on my ARB, it some how caught the ring and tore it right off the ARB. So I need to pull the carrier out, replace the O-ring and copper line, then re-install it. Im kind of sketchy about doing it myself since that copper line is very important. I shouldent have to re shim the carrier correct since Im just dropping it back in ya? Anyone ever done this before and would be lending a hand? I have a buddy who said he would do it, but wants to charge me $180 to do it and I would rather not pay that.

not a very good buddy if he is charging you.
 
I've replaced the seal housing in mine. It wasn't bad. I was nervous about it, but after doing it, it was pretty simple. Just mark the bearing caps so they go in the same way. I used a rag to feed into the ring gear to force the carrier out. Just make sure to put everything back the same way. I lubed the shims up and it fell back into place just fine. Forming the copper line into place made me nervous too, but I just took mine time and checked everything for clearance and made sure the o-ring was straight in the fitting. It's worked great since.
