When auto designers are required to pack more and more into less available space, they sometimes forget to plan for easy maintenance.
I am not specifically familiar with the 2002 Impala, but I have run across cars that will make you do extreme things to effect repairs... Like the Chevy Citation V-6 that required you to lift the engine off the motor mounts to change spark plugs...

I had a 1997 Plymouth Breeze that had to have the driver's side front tire removed to replace the battery so yes.

well all you need do is look to see if thats true or not. Some cars make you do gyrations to perform routine jobs, this might be one of them.
