My first time doing it took 5 plus with stress breaks etc. I went from the top.
The issues were mostly an almost immovable torx bolt (at the alternator as I recall). Eventually got it. It was a brute.
Then there was the complicated twist to get it out the top. I had to go with a suggestion I read on here - I think - to sand/rasp back the very edge of the intake manifold just to allow that extra wiggle. Seriously.
The rest was just time consuming.
Good time to change belt, pulleys, mount, etc. if you so need.
