That's how we all started... Buy the softail manual at HD for $60, then go buy at 200 piece tool set for about $150 plus a torque wrench and do it yourself.
It's step by step and you will be on the road to saving lots of $.
Plus, it's self rewarding.
And if you get stumped, post up here for help. (I don't do engine rebiulds, but some of these guys do)

Not to knock you but I had the yellow jack from harbor freight. The 2nd time I used it the pump took a crap. Just an FYI.

You can get a jack from about any where for $100 or less.

Do the bars and cables, get the tools. If you have any left over get what you need for the chrome sliders. Take pride in your ride by doing the work yourself or with a good buddy. That is how I have learned what little I do know. LOL
