Fighting with air/oil separator

[theboogins]

Armed with Pelican and Pedrosgarage DIYs I jacked my 97 up and crawled under to dislodge and swap ou a faulty oil separator. Geez, it took me 20 mins just to locate it from the underside and it seems nearly impossible to get to it laying on my back.

Did I miss something? Do I need to remove the bottom panels or come in through the wheel well to get at it?

It's cold in the garage and I don't want to freeze to death trying to figure it out.

Thanks.
