    pretty easy once you get to the valve covers. gotta take the coil bracket off and the altenator off to get to the back one, you might have to take the water pump off also, dont remember. but once you do that its cake

    You dont have to take the water pump off. Remember to put the little ground cable for the coils back on when you to the bracket on. Now you reminded me that I have to do mine.

    i dont know i just looked at it and the water pump bracket is in the way on mine. goes over the valve cover.

    if you do take it off, good time to replace coolent elbows.
