Yes, both from above or below... but from above you will most likely scratch your paintwork, from below you'll need to remove the starter.

remove oil return pipe, large rad hose off bottom and headertank.

wing cover over front panel and a car mat between the rad and turbo so you dont hit actuator bracket onto rad.

no scratches and much easier than any other rought out.
