Best thing to do is set aside a weekend day (devoting about 5-8 hrs, this being your first time). Take your time and do it right. It is easy to break something if you rush it. Don't ever try to yank it out if something won't give. There's a lot of braces (at least for big ones).
Yeah it kinda sucks, but you learn more about your car and it's worth the time compared to paying some shop ~$400 to do the work.
