I rolled it up on ramps, blocked both rear tires and started the process of removing the linkage first (oh, unplug the connector first, unlock the white ring clockwise or "up" as you are laying on your back) it's a ten millimeter bolt and nut, easy access.
Next i removed the 10mm bolt toward the front using a 10mm on a 1/4 inch drive, i have a slim one, if yours is bulky, it might not work.
Then i removed the rear 10 mm bolt. it was kind of a pain as it's more difficult to access and that damn linkage keeps falling down on you.
I had the car in park and was careful to replace everything in the exact same order as i removed it.
Again, not that hard just take your time and don't be in a rush.
A great helper is the telescoping magnet so you can guide the bolts into place once you get the new switch in place. I got them on 90% of the way just using my hand then put the 10mm socket to it.
I a big fan of wearing gloves but this job is just too tight with them on plus you need the feel of your fingertips to get those bolts started and threaded correctly.
Good luck.
