Not trying to dis you or anything, actually very interested in the easiest approach to do this (past experience taught me the value of time saved with additional disassembly vs. trying to squeeze through with all the stuff around the work area).

And another stupid question (that was mentioned here already but wasn't answered as far as I can tell) - can you access the plugs from underneath? Or would the suspension components be in the way?

It really is that easy. I’d still recommend removing the DI module. Pulling the fuel rail covers also helps, two small bolts each.

No way to access on the underside. Especially the passenger side where the OP/FP route underneath.
