you need a very long extension and a swival. **spelling**

just be sure not to tear those gaskets when you pull them off.

Its very easy to get out. You need to sand them and make sure they are spotless. I even threw mine in the dishwasher (dont tell my wife) to make sure they were clean. Hardest part was taping off the stripes.
