I did it myself without any difficulty.   Just marked the location for the 
first hole (scribing through the bracket), then drilled the first hole.   
Slid the bolt through the bracket, reached around behind and installed a nut 
loosely.   Rotated the bracket into position, scribed the second hole.   
Rotated it out of position, drilled the second hole, rotated it back into 
position, slid the second bolt through, reached around behind and installed the 
second nut.   Then got out of the engine bay, and tightened the nut with one 
wrench while holding the bolt with an allen wrench.   From start to finish 
the job took under 10 minutes....

Of course my engine wasn't in the car at the time, which may have impacted 
the situation slightly. :>)
