I recommend that they be done by prof. as it's not an easy to job to be done by yourself.

Clamp is easily accessible from underneath.

I found it tight to get to but as mentioned from under the car is easiest way to get to the clamp. I had mine on axle stands.

The clamp definitely wasnt easy to get to on mine, from underneath or above! There is really not a lot of room and if the clamp is in the same position as mine was you'll be there for a while haha. But just stick with it.
