Its a pain but you can do it yourself. When I did it I had the front engine mount out and the engine supported from above with a cross bar so I was able to move the engine over for each side to give me enough room to remove/install the cover and bolts and torque them to spec. I used the recommended sealant.

If I had to do it again I would seriously consider just paying someone to do it.
