Totally agree. I have changed on front wheel drive car before, and
that was a cakewalk compared to the Maxima/I30. Better to get a part
time job and pay off the labor than tackle this. No visibility, no
room, plenty of potential to screw up timing. Just say no.

Or, send your dog/family away for the weekend and start Friday
evening. You will need every cussword you and your buddies know.
Monday morning you can call a wrecker and have her towed in.
