Its fairly easy. I think you need to drop the engine out. I changed mine when it was already out so I don't know if it can be done with the engine in place.

Just make sure you prime it.

Cheers

downpipe off, starter off, sump off, big blue pulley off, then oil pump off, not really a hard job but annoying
