Went ok, did the driveshaft / remove front brace method. It was a tight fit, and definitely a huge PITA, but I came out on top haha. For those of you with stock covers/braces the LPW is definitely a worthwhile upgrade. I RTV'd the hell out of it, but if it startes to leak... next time I'm going with a lubelocker. Sorry, no real point to this thread, but I had to type out my victory to undue some of the frustration from today, haha...
