Remove bumper
Install new cross member
Route wiring through grommer
Remove trunk lid
Remove spare, etc to get all the way down to the module
Install TCM module, etc
Connect Wiring
Tighten bolts on crossmember, button the trunk back up.
If memory serves me, the only difficult issues if any is
Using a torque wrench should you choose to tighten up either the hitch ball or the nuts on the cross member.
Hammering the ~tabs~ down to lock the nut in (this is not covered in any of the writeups*
Lining up the rear bumper and keeping it aligned as you tighten things up.

It took me considerably longer than 3 hours. Hammering the tabs was on my instruction set or one of the instructions off the front page here.
