If you can't get to it from the bottom. Pull the air box, the power steering pump and bracket off, possibly the EGR tube. Put a jack under the oil pan(and something to keep you from damaging the pan) and lift the motor to get some more working room if needed. Haven't done one myself but that's a couple of ways I can think to get at it ....maybe?

If one is shot, the others are probably not far behind.
