Not hard but, to remove it, you need to lower the motor and remove:

- Cat and primary mufflers
- Rear engine tin
- Engine bracket mount
- Crank pulley and belts

And once you've gone this far, you may as well:

- Install Rennline bracket brace
- Replace the front crank seal
- Modify the a/c bracket to facilitate access to the chain housing, i.e. grind it down so that it clears the pulley
- Install new belts

I did all this over the Winter while replacing the chain housing gaskets and am very pleased with the results. But it's one of those jobs you really want to do once. So, unless you're ready to do the full monty, you may want to hold off until you've got other jobs to address.

Bosxey, I am surprised your guys cut off one of the main retaining lugs from the console - seems they should have left it on since it provides good support - you can see on mine I left that area intact:
