Default guide to changing actuator?

replacing my standard one on S2 for a -31, but never done it before!

Anyone fancy explaining how to do it? Thats if its a hard job! Oh and does it need to be set before i put it on or that?

make sure ya engine is COLD!!!!otherwise u WILL get burnt!!jack the car up,with an axle stand,you no good to anyone with no head.
if u look up u will see it looking at ya,its got 2 11 nuts on it,and the wastegate side should have a pin,some dont,depends.
when setting the new one,the wastegate post should be half visible,like half moon,so u just have to pull it a bit to get it over.
