if you have big hands forget it  :grin: i tried it and decided against it tbh its easier to remove the front bumper and then the headlights and then you have much more room to replace them saves cut/grazed/bruised knucles  :laugh: tbh most people on here would probably advise the same  :wink:

flick all the dead flies out of your intercooler and scrape off all the mucky buildup from around the arch liners etc

other than that just watch you don't yank the cable for the outside temperature sensor, it's behind the passenger side vent

Which side is it? if its the near side you could always take the battery out to give you more room
