Here is a pamphlet that might help. While lead is dangerous with prolonged exposure common sense precautions as outlined in this pamphlet will give you the maximum protection. A one time project with proper percautions well executed is very doable. I would take it seriously, but do not be paralyzed by it. This is DEFINITELY a DIY project that you can tackle.
Good luck
