The left hand side isn't too bad although it it cramped. You will need a variety of socket extensions to make sure you get the socket connection out far enough so the socket wrench to turn but not out to far or you will be coming in direct contact with the inner fender.
The right hand side is trickier. Remove the windshield fluid container (2 10mm bolts) and it is at least accessible.
Bottom line can a non-mechanic do it? Its not easy. Yes but have patience! Joe
