Frustrating, I read all the DIYs and watched the videos. I'm not sure the difference in the years, (mine's an '03), but one of the DIYs suggested removing the rear wheel and tackling it from below. This did not help at all - it didn't provide any access to the AOS. I didn't cut anything but removed a lot. Had difficulty with some of the clamps. I think it took about 2 1/2 hours - but next time I think I can do it in one. Good luck, and think of all the money you're saving.
