1: Take lots of drugs, and hope you grow a third hand.
2: LOTS of light from above and below.
3: Use the dust shield that should come with a new CPS. It snaps into the bell housing and it will help hold the CPS in place in case step 1 didn't take.
4: Use a 1/4 inch socket, and buy if necessary a couple of longish extensions, a medium extension and a u-joint. Combine as necessary. Different combination works better for each bolt.
5: Use a piece of paper or the like to hold the bolt head in the socket when installing.

A three-foot extension, a 7/16" "Universal" socket, and five minutes' work with a Dremel and a cut-off wheel makes the job MUCH easier for me - since I don't have to actually remove the bolts anymore. Just loosen them up and gently pull on the wiring, and it comes right up. Put the new one in place, rest a long screwdriver on it, and tighten the bolts. Takes 10 minutes, anymore.
If you haven't found a picture of how I notch the CPS mounting bracket, let me know - and I'll see if I can dig it up again. I know I've posted it here a couple times - it's not the best picture, but it gets the point across.
