Suspect they didn't make it easy, as they never expected it to be a maintenance or repair issue... the part would last the life of the car (30-40yrs, 500k miles). Toyota/Lexus design ease in to parts that are expected to require maintenance.
Yet if you do stuff like this, you'll acquire a drawer of long-reach tools. Needle-nose pliers, remote twist/push/pull, etc. Working on those parts is like working with da Vinci surgery, with all those tools.
Then again... do a timing belt on a 5S or 4A transverse engine... daily pain, and use of 1/4" tools...
