Is it hard? Any tricks or things to watch out for? I need to put in a new one this weekend. The door and spring are just fine, I just need a new opener. I am going to get a wisper quiet one. Belt drive. Just wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom.

Try and make sure that the new one connects to the door the same way the old one does.  I replaced one that was about 35 years old with a new one and that was the only difficult part.

IMO you should pay for installation, get the job done right the first time.

I concur with Buddabing. Garage door installation is a pain because you have to line it up just right. Find a Joe Schmoe person to do it at wholesale.

I am not installing a garage door. Just REPLACING the opener. I don't want to take heat like CT on this so I am going to give it a shot. I was just wondering if anyone had done this and had any tips. From reading online, replacing isn't too bad at all. We will see I guess.
