its a pain. remove the lower colum cover. and all a/c ducts in that area. i used extensions and swivels to get to the main 4 bolts on the fire wall. then there is a fifth bolt hidding up top. wouldn't hurt to just pull the drivers seat out to give you working room and not kill your back. The book calls for 1.7 hours and it took me about 2 hours the first time i did it.
