Regular wrenching is one thing, but dismantling, re-packing, and setting bearing sets is another. The headset, bottom bracket, and axles all require special bike tools, and are also likely to be very "snug" due to time. (Use PB Blaster in advance to loosen.)

I echo the recommendation to enlist a co-op, or a knowledgeable friend, to assist.
