Not done it so cant advice. I also confess to car going to indy today for indy to change my 4.4i water pump.......& this after I nearly convinced myself to have a go :oops:

Might I suggest that unless certain re leak cause you perhaps get someone to perform a pressure test as it would be frustrating to replace it & find the leak is from somewhere else nearby.

Its not bad, but I think you have to take it off in one piece with AC cooler and auto box heat exchanger. Seem to remember doing that with mine. So you 'might' need to top up auto box, and get a re-gas. I took all of front end off as well for easy access
