I have done this and it is a hard job. You have to take out the box to do it correctly. IE many hours of removal. I have though, taken my time and managed to squeaze one in on the left side although it took about 4 hours.

The parts are available and are updated. You get the flaps seperately and the linkage comes in a kit.
