It's fairly simple. With the right tools, anybody can do it. I bought the tap for less than $10... http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/117/2537/=fjlxho

Should get you going in the right direction. That tap is only $6 and some change plus shipping, just FYI.

Some other helpful hints...
-pack the flutes of the drill bit and tap with some petroleum jelly, and most of the shavings will be caught
-a healthy dose of brake cleaner early and often will help rinse the rest of it out
-a generic power steering filter is cheap insurance to catch anything you missed
-after the first hole is drilled and tapped, plug it before doing the second hole to prevent anything from dropping down the hole

Make sure its a bottoming tap, or a tap you can cut the bottom half off. Not enough room to run a reg length tap.

If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself I can take care of it for you. Just bring me the box and I can do it while you wait.
