On my 09, pull the two bolts in the front, the bolt in the back and the quick disconnect. Takes 5 minutes.

On my 08 it was super easy. I found it was easier to just pull the tank and get it out of the way, but mine was for the abs brake lines. Otherwise i would not have had to do itl.

I have yet to do one that I have had to pull the tank, I pull the air cleaner, and tape the top end of the new cable to the bottom end of the old cable, and use the old cable to pull the new cable, easy as pie, the biggest pain is to put the cables on the throttle body.
