And that includes fumbling for a dropped nut (had to get a flashlight), seeing if the floor jack would work (just got the scissor jack out of the trunk, good practice anyway, jacking and dropping the car before and after removing/replacing the LF wheel, walking back and forth to get different tools (I think you'll need a long socket for the lower nut on the clamp) and crushing a beer can (not on my head, just recycling).
Generally, a piece of cake. Not the least bit difficult, just frustrating because of the close quarters, so you just have to be patient and work with the space available. Used a utility knife to cut off the nipple of the plastic rivet (uppermost one on the forward side of the hole, conveniently hidden behind the strut/spring assembly!) in the wheel well. A little more space and you won't cut anything important in the engine compartment in you slip. Wear gloves so you don't cut anything even more important attached to yourself! Wire cutters/nippers would probably be better, particularly if you don't remove the wheel. I could see doing it in 30 minutes, even in you need to jack up the corner to provide arm room around a 17" wheel.
I'm almost looking forward to the 450 mile round trip to the sister-in-law's this weekend, just to see how the Vig handles!
