I had to do mine a few years ago ('08 Aero SC) when the front metal pipe that has a cooling loop developed a pinhole leak. I picked it up from RockAuto, removed the plastic cover under the engine and studied the layout. I knew it was going to be difficult but my past experience working on AF interceptors when in very tight spaces (there were many) patience is the key. After draining the fluid, slowly remove the bad pipe noting how it was routed, it will take some finagling but it will come out. I had to make several attempts to route the new unit in properly where I could fasten the connections using an open-end wrench. I do remember it taking a couple of hours taking care to not cross-thread the connections, but knowing how much dinero I saved made it all worth it. Good luck if you go the DIY route.
