Not bad once you get in to it, think hardest part was getting casing of, just wiggled gear selector till casing came away,

1 point, head down hardware, get a 12mm brass pipe joiner, then cut oil line and can re join it with connector.

its piss easy job just make sure have the large seal for the waterpump cover as tis not in the kit

hardest part is re filling the coolant to be honest

Just remember that this line carries hot (up to 120C) oil under pressure.

Just remember when you fit the new seals leave a gap betweeen them for the tell tale hole if you block that up when your seals go again it will put the coolant into the engine.

and dont use any oil or grease to assemble them, the grease blocks up the hole.

also slide a thin screwdriver up the weep hole when fitting the last seal, i forgot this and had take them apart again and leave the gap
