Both required loosening the steering rack, dropping the subframe, and raising the engine with a hoist or engine support bar to gain clearance. The E70 diesel required more work like removing the engine mount arm on the passenger side. Some various other things to do... nothing crazy hard, but pretty annoying.

Would the straight 6 be easier? Dang you really have to drop the subframe?
