Replacement is straight forward. You do not need to loosen the fasteners that attach the mounting bracket to the transmission as explained in WIS. That is only for the manual gear box!
Remove the two bolts, remove the arm. Sounds easy enough.
You must have an 18mm box end wrench and an 18mm socket for the front frame bolt. The nut is an interference type and will take work to remove. There is way too much exposed excess thread length. Some penetrating oil will make that easier and reduce the running friction.
The other bolt threads into the transmission bracket. You need a 16mm socket for that.
It seems that most socket and wrench sets do not have 16mm or 18mm sizes. Check before you start. 5/8" works well for 16mm. Sometimes 11/16 will work for 18mm, but not in this application. Perhaps the plated bolts are a bit bigger than typical.
You probably cannot swing a torque wrench under there unless on a lift. So I will not list those values.
