It's really easy, you don't need a diagram.
Drive up onto your ramps.
Open the hood, and pop up the headlights (pull the fuse). I disconnected the neg on the battery cuz I was afraid of blowing the airbag, but that's just me.
Get underneath and take off all that plastic shroud crap, and you should be able to see all you need to see.
The hardest screws are on the corners, one on each side that hold it to the fender. But if you loosen up the wheel well liners, you can get your hand in there and reach it.

its really not that hard. Best thing you can do is take the wheel well liner out..

from what i remember, the hard ones are two 10mm bolts about parallell with the TB that hold the fender to the bumper like the guy above said, The rest are kind of obvoius...

good luck
