It requires full disassembly, and by full I mean full. Every component has to be unmounted and then remounted again because the front plate is the carrier of all other components. Official video guide I followed (with cuts and perfect execution) is 1.3 hours long.

People usually say it takes them 3+ hours, I took my time and was very careful, took little breaks, double checked everything and landed at around 5.2 hours. No regrets though!
