Sorry, but it's going to take a bit more than 6 minutes to replace it. It honestly wasn't that bad though. The worst part was dealing with the fender welting I added between the cab and fenders.

I have a couple suggestions, assuming your front end is pretty well aligned right now. Don't loosen any bolts except those needed to remove the clip. On the support rods, either mark the location of the nuts, or leave the rear nut in place as I did. Then when you put the clip back on, leave all the bolts a little loose. Use the support rods to pull the clip up into place before tightening everything. I left the support rods in place, so I'm not sure how much play there is in the rear mounting holes, but regardless I think this would work. They do interfere a little with the inner fenders when you remove the clip, but it wasn't that bad to work around them.

The biggest problem is all the little side projects you're going to want to do with the clip removed.
