not nearly as easy as it appears. i did mine from the top; it's doable but it's tight. the real issues are the hose clamps. if the hoses were a LITTLE longer and could be fastened from inside the trunk, it woule be cake. alas, this is not the case.
get yourself a good set of locking hose clamp pliers. i got mine from pep boys; it looks like a brake cable from a bicycle with pliers on the end.
if i had this to do over, i'd replace the hoses with longer ones. i'd tighten the new screw type clamps in the trunk and then push them through the firewall. this isn't a difficult job, but it IS a hard job. it's a real knucklebuster.
