So when I researched how to do this, a common issue was the fact that space is so limited when it comes to installing the new valve that folks end up laying on their engine in order to have both hands free - one to hold and maneuver the valve body and one to start the little bolts. I found that you go underneath and start the bottom bolt first. Then back up top, just attach a bit of old vacuum hose to the valve body so now you can hang / move the valve body around to line up a second bolt without having to have your other hand down in there too. Worked like a charm !
Hope this helps someone else with big mitts...
