Anyone In NY know how to do this and if so how much would they charge to do it?

what is your reason for removing it?

I hate having to worry about it.

I'll put it like this. 99% of the people who do it, do it with the motor out of the car. Its essentially the same amount of labor as a timing belt job, plus removing the oil pan and oil pump, and taking the oil pump apart. I bet a fair shop would charge you around $400 to do it. Also its the perfect time to do an oil pump, timing belt and water pump replacement, especially if your motor has higher mileage.
