Sure, we can help you, I don't know if there is an easy way, but you will need to jack the car up, this guide can help:

Also, you can remove the CV axle if it is in your way to make it easier. Please disconnect the battery first. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.

Thanks. I ended up getting it. But went from the top. Just had to have like 4 extensions on my ratchet, laying across my engine. Lol. But thank you.
