Piece of cake. Removed the two bolts for the air charge pipe, shoved it out of the way, got the plug out with a hex driver on a 3/8 u-joint and a long extension, put the lock pin in by hand from behind the crossmember and tightened with a swivel head ratchet wrench. Ten minutes, tops, including photos. Many thanks to the guy who provided the original photos, here are a few more for the next guy.
I have a short 5mm hex key, cut down to maybe 1/2" long on the short side, did it a while back for something at the back of the engine. Came in handy for the socket head bolt near the oil drain plug, but if you don't have the drain valve like I do, you can access that bolt with a long 5mm key. The other bolt looks like it's behind the air conditioning pipes, but it's actually *between* them...just press the a/c pipes apart a bit with a finger, and the 5mm key fits no problem.
