Oh man those are a pain in the *** the easiest way is to get to it from the top so you dont have to take your whole fender assembly apart. once you get the exhaust out of the way you can reach them some what easily(your lucky its on the passenger side) the hard part is getting the old one out, I drilled a hole in it with a right angle drill and threaded a bolt in and used a slide hammer to pop it out suprisingly it worked pretty good, if that doesnt work you can stick a screw driver in it and pop it out there only thin guage metal so they bend pretty easily , then just be sure to seat the new one in straight with a rubber mallet or something soft, or else you'll be back to the drawing board

i did mine with the turbo off. but just take a punch and hit it towards the side and it'll flip around, u grab it with vice grips and pull it out. i put a bolt in 1 from puredieselpower.com i wouldnt mess with pressing a new 1 in. just get the bolt in 1.. its bout 50 bux but well worth it.
