Replacing Macbook Pro Keyboard

[weekendsrule32]

Recently the keyboard on my 15 inch non-unibody macbook pro stopped working. Well, not the whole keyboard, just the 1,q,a,z,and delete keys. Any suggestions on what this could be? The apple store wants to charge me 45 for a new keyboard and 95 for installation. I know you can buy the keyboards on ebay and other stores, but how difficult is the installation? Thanks in advance.
