Fairly easy. you need to remove the small inpsection covers on the intake manifold. Then you can see the top two exhasut manifold bolt heads. Most of the time you can fumble around and find the others. Ive had mine off so many times. Haha. Make sure you have a good socket set.

I needed like a 6inch extension with a 3 inch extension attached.

It is a pain in the ass. Get that heat shield off from the inlet manifold and it makes things easier. U just gotta kinda feel around with ur fingers until u feel the bolts, then get ur socket in there while fingers on bolt so u get a feeling of where the socket should go.

I struggled with good quality small drive sockets (1/4 inch drive?) still lost lots of skin!
