nope
just remove the access panels in your cargo area
some agile fingers to trip the tab while you wiggle and pull on the plugs
and a 10mm wrench 3 nuts per side

Awesome that's what I thought, but then I saw the DIY for the GD3 and was like oh boy...

yeah... very easy. thinking of a plan to make things more secure so that it's hard for someone to take them back out... including myself.
