Not the specific pics your after but here's where it sits in the engine bay



That's where it bolts to



Not a bad job to do. Get it on some decent ramps, remove engine cover and spray the bolts with wd40 as they can be quiet tight.

A decent socket set with mixed extensions bars and a some spanners and it should come off easy enough

A car lift and garage will be used. What about unplugging the lqmbdas?
