Doing your own cartridge setup

Can anyone give me some feedback on installing a Shure V15VxMR cartridge by oneself? Normally I'd let an "expert" at the dealer do it, but these days turntables, tonearms and cartridges seem to be a forgotten item at all but the most esoteric of high end audio dealers and I'm just unsure of how expert they are where I'm buying the cartridge! I have a VPI HW19 Mk III with an AudioQuest PT-6 T/A. I'm concerned of the VTA, arm height, azimuth, etc. I don't feel I'm knowledgeable enough to get it "all right", doing it myself. Is it easier than I'm making it out to be?

Appreciate some thoughts on the matter.

Thanks

Mike
