... it's not too bad of a job. I removed the rear tire, because there is a bolt at the rear of the rocker & this will make access much easier. You can turn the front wheel to access the bolt up front. There are 4/5 screws along the doorsill inside the car. I can't remember how many push tabs/buttons are under the bottom, but a floorjack will make that job easier also.i think i replaced both of mine,in about 1.5 hours...hope this helps some
