Hungry, Hungry.. CD player??

[Aubs]

My CD player has been eating CD's lately. I'm out of warranty, and MEDVED told me it would be around $300 to fix the unit. So I ask you this:
1. How easy is it to access the CD player by removing the center trim?
2. Can I try to fix the CD player without sending it into the fetal position?
3. What are the chances that I will be able to put it all back together (a few parts leftover is ok )?

And don't give me too much credit. I mean, just look at my avatar.
