If you're patient, have small hands, a 1/4" ratchet set and a helper to hold 
a wrench on the engine side of the 2 bolts, you can do it from underneath.  I 
have several times.

Get a speedbleeder in the "Help" parts department at PepBoys or elsewhere 
(www.speedbleeder.com).  Use Castrol LMA brake fluid.

Good luck!
Could be other hints at my site below.
