Pretty easy. Just remove the panel under the engine (the one you'd remove to drain the oil out of the oilpan), then you'll see 2 of the same type of screws that the panel under the engine uses, up towards the front of the apron panel, so remove those two, and inside the front wheel wells you'll also see 3 on each side. If you are doing this on the ground you'll want to turn the wheels left/right to give yourself some room to work. With the wheels straight ahead you won't have room.
After the total of 8 screws are removed (plus the ones on the engine panel) you can pull the panel down out of the bumper, then pull it forward and remove it.
A guy at the shop I used to work at just LOVED using a large hole saw and chopping an access hole for the radiator drain (and before the oil extractor, he'd do this for the oil drainplug too (without asking the owner if it was OK, of course). To me it was kind of a "butcher job", I wouldn't do it on my own vehicle that way.
