I just swapped out mine when I changed out my water pump. Even with the pump
out of the way, it took some work to get it out. I ended up using a 24mm
12-point 1/2"-drive standard depth socket and my 1/2" breaker bar to get it
out.

You could also remove the muffler, rear engine hanger and tinwork to get access
to it. If you go this route, replace your motor mounts if they haven't ever
been renewed.

Good luck,

Tim
