It's not all that bad, if you take out the driver's seat, but even that's
not essential (see below). I've done it twice now and I'm 6'3".

when you get the master off, drill out the threaded holes to 8mm ID and use
longer bolts with a star-type lock washer (from under the dash), with a nut
from the engine bay side. Makes it much easier to put back on, and then an
absolute doddle to do next time around.
