Good Luck...... Had to do pull that out when i hit the curb with my ride.
PS Rack has to come out as well as the rear motor mount.

yeah, it's not horrible but it is time consuming. I had to replace mine after sliding on ice into a curb. Broke my rim, bent the lca, bent the sway bar, bent the radius rod, bent the rear beam where the lca mounts to it. Wasn't fun.

here is a thread where I briefly listed what needs to be done.
