Hi Charles
When I had one big end to replace this winter, I did it from underneath, and yes it was fiddly getting it back together and the Nyloc nuts on and torqued (also to 18). I had to take the head off so I could remove the piston and con rod to replace the bolts - on my car the old ones were in very poor condition - stretched and twisted - and also corroded into place, so I had no choice.
There is a lot of satisfaction when it is all finally together and back on the road.
Regards,
Colin
