Pretty sure the motor has to come out. Obviously the front end parts have to come off.

I don’t believe the actual replacement part/parts are very expensive, just a bit labor intensive.

Had mine replaced on my 2017 due to my buddy hitting a hidden stump. Total bill with the dealer doing the work (installing a 2018 bulkhead) was $2,700 including parts.

If you do it yourself and dont stop for talking, buckle down and do it; then you can do the complete off/on bulkhead change in 13 hours.
Air chisel the rivets off.

There is a complete list of part numbers too. I ended up receiving a 600RS by mistake. The 600RS module IS an 850 module with 2 added riveted engine mounts. I cut that mount (with the two rubber bumpers) out and the module slipped on like a glove.

You will need a bad@ss rivet gun to put at least 4 x 3/16 rivets in. I bought a POP PS45 rivet gun like the one i linked here, off of ebay with good time-and-chance for $69 bones.
