I'm assuming you need to take the rear wheels off to change? Anything else to note?

Nope,I didnt take the rear wheels off. I just used the emergency jack to get the car high enough to get a real jack under the car and did it that way(with a jack stand incase of an emergency). Im 5 8 and 148 pounds so I can fit under the car no problem. If I couldnt fit then I would have had to take the wheels off and try it that way.

You can also use a set of ramps that lifts the car about 6 inches from the ground so you can slide under it....I also do this job my self as well as the oil. The oil filter is as easy as the plugs...just remember to change the gasket from the filter cover when you change your filter element.

I used six Bosch FR7LDC for my 99. I think the 00+ use different ones.
