Default as Steve said take off the front end
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/57841/untitled.jpg"></center><p>Remove wheels, liners and shrouds. Disconnect the light washer hoses (aliens) Remove screws as shown and front end should slide right off.

sawzall is much faster than front-end-removal.

Default do you have to pull the wheels off...
to take the front end off? is there a torx tool that is small enough to get in the wheel well with the wheels on?

Default Ballpark Time?
This is way over my level of competancy...so I want to have a dealer or shop do the install. I want to have an approx. baseline number so as not to get ripped off. THANKS
