There is a clip holding it in you have to take the plate off the bottom of your front diff to get to it. Its worth checking your engine mounts while you are on as the drivers side mount is notorious for breaking leading to the front drivers shafts pulling out.

Neither is a bad job to do tbh, engine mount can be a bit of a fiddle to do but if your half handy with a spanner you will be fine.
