Ok, here is the trick...

My brother and I were able to install this in 45 minutes, after we made 2 separate trips to Autozone for tools. Buy a 10mm close-end ratchet wrench - $10. Have a friend hold the oil pipe - without bending it - case of beer $10. Finishing the install yourself and taking that first cruise with the BOV and hearing the woosh - priceless!

All kidding aside, he is right, the third bolt is a be-toch, but it is doable. Make sure you are paitent. I have really big hands and it was hard to get the screws started, but once you got that far it was easy. Make sure you give yourself 2 hours to do it right and make a fun project out of it.

If you have access to a lift - BY ALL MEANS USE IT! There is a service hole you can access bolt 3 from below. BUT DON'T try it by putting the car on jack stands. The only way to get to it is by standing under the car, you will never get your arm in the correct position if you are lying on your back.

Good luck.
