I feel your pain. Took me about 3 1/2 hours to get mine out, but I did manage it without removing other parts and with no loss of blood. Worked from the top, mostly by feel, and also by pulling the manifold forward and working from in the trunk. I think next time I would remove the clamshell to improve access. Don't forget to use a fender cover or you will scratch the heck out of your paint. You might want to try removing the aluminum brace and going in from underneath if the topside approach just won't work for you.

Hate to say this, but it's even more of a nasty getting the new one back in. You got a new sender unit and cap too, right?
