Two of the screws are accessed reasonably easily. This screw would have required the removal of the whole bumper cover.......or just a notch with a carpet knife, like I did. It's all miles underneath the cover and will never be seen, so I sliced away...

Removing the body side bumper trim from the driver's front wheelwell is just two philips screws.

After the three bolts are out and you've unplugged the motor, just pull the motor out far enough to get at it. This way you don't have to disturb, remove or adjust the cables at all.
