No way! Those things are a breeze to get in with everything in place. All you need is a 2ft extension and one limber arm.

Yeah, its really NOT that hard, especially if you have the rats nest and associated things removed from the motor.

I believe I used a + or - 3" extension rod and pivoting socket joint (what is that socket part called?). I guess I am still not ready for prime time Tool Time Tim time since I forget the names of tool parts. It is not hard to get to the 2 bolts with those two parts.
