Getting the old one out will be easier than getting the new one in. The
hardest portion to install is the harness which leads to the rear
lights. It routes under the windshield, under the carpet, through a
cross member, through the left rear qtr. panel, etc, etc. I have just
reinstalled mine after a major paint job on my car. It was time
consuming but not difficult. If you were totally dedicated, you could do
it in a weekend by yourself.
