Default Sh*t need to replace passenger side rocker

Anyone ever replaced one of the side rockers below the doors? How much of a B*tch is this job to do yourself?

From everything I've read they are glued on and a real PITA to get off requiring removal of the quarter panel. Don't quote as that's just off the top of my head but I know it's still a pretty rough task.

They are glued on, and a real pain to replace, I forget off the top of my head how much it was quoted on the forum to replace, as I looked into this before taking a sawzall to my rockers for the z06 brake ducts.

Hopefully it is something that I never have to do.
