Air Dam Replacement

My driveway apron is playing havic with the air dam. I have ordered replacements for the left and right side and I have several questions. Would they be difficult to replace for someone with limited mechanical skills? I know that each is attached with four bolts, but I can't see how to access the nuts. What is required for removal and installation, and is the job best accomplished on a lift? Thank for your help.

Very easy replacement. There's approximately 8 10mm hex head screws that hold them on. I use a drill to remove them and a rachet driver to install them.

Again, very easy replacement.

If you can replace an electrical switch wall plate in your home, you can do this!!

If I can replace them then anyone can. This is one of the easiest DIY's.

Go for it.

The answer to reaching the nuts is; they are blind nuts / clip nuts. Once the old screws come out the nuts stay in place unless you yank and pull. Even my kids can do this one....now the pressure's on, don't screw-up.
