Not technical, but a royal PITA! You start by removing the RH catalytic convertors. (I would have new exhaust doughnuts for the install.) You also need a 2 to 3 foot extension with a wobble end for the top bolt. You won''t be able to see it, you have to do it by feel.

IIRC, you need a twelve point socket for one of the bolts.
