I planned to do this, but due to time constraints I paid my indy to do this job, and now consider it money well spent. I watched. Looked like PITA even with prior experience and a lift.
Get a new oil filler tube. Mine was cracked, this is very common, and during this process is the time to replace it.
Get a cable-operated hose clamp tool, you will be glad you did.
Drill or dremel out the hole for the dipstick before you install the reservoir, when it is easier to clean up the generated plastic debris to keep it out of your engine.
Remove the huge wiring grommet to improve access.
Finally, consider getting a cheap inspection scope with an assistant to hold/aim it if working by feel concerns you.
Best of luck!
