Only if you have a body lift.......the biggest problem was doing the top bolt up

I've got a body lift, so should be OK....I hope

In through the wheel arch mate top bolt is a pig cause its so close to bulk head lift may help that aside the rest is a easy remove the fuel filter bolts an move it to the side to give you room to lift starter up and out

Before I did my bodylift, I got mine out through the top! Remove fuel filter and pass it up through the hole. Works!

and works easily.



A flexable ratchet spanner is your good friend for the top bolt.

Dont know about 30mins. Took me about two hours. In the end I did it where it was through the wheel arch as I couldn't get the bugger out. Let us know how you get on. This may help

(1st time I did it) About 10-15 mins to get it out, 20 mins to change the contacts and 10 mins to put it back. It was a faff cos of taking the fuel filter assembly off, but not difficult.
