that how to will tell you what to remove, but not how much of a pain it actually is.

My ONE piece of advise is to lift the car as high as you can off the ground so that you can move the header around and guide it out. I say get it as high off the ground as you can assuming your working off the garage floor like I did. It won't clear the plastic lines under the heat shield perfectly, but it'll come out. have fun and ok now it's 2 pieces of advise...be patient.
