save yourself the grief and let the tech do it for $50....the area is very tight to work in and the job is nothing short of a PITA...I cut up (3) 6mm allen wrenches and a combination wrench to make tools that worked well when I did my RR a month or so ago..

Your tech either has a few tools to make the job easier, or he'll NEVER do this job for 50 bucks again...my money is on the latter...

Agreed. I would pay the tech. Better get that $50 charge in writing though!

If I remember right, it took me about 2 hours. The driver side was easy but the passenger side was a real Hilliary Clinton. Do the passenger side first. It is easier with a loose line. I loosened the passenger side turbo up pipe and pushed it back toward the firewall. It has a flex joint that allows for some movement. Don't get real aggressive with trying to move it a lot. That allowed me to get the allen wrench in the block plug to loosen it and then remove it with my fingers.
