I've got a link on my home PC for a guide, can't get to it till later tonight.
As for ease, depends how handy you are with a spanner, as exhaust realated bolts tend to be a nightmare to remove with ease.
I searched on google it was an auatralian site. can't find it now.

I would almost suggest you let someone attack it, the bolts holding it to the turbo get fried by the heat, I watched a gas axe used to heat them first....

have a look at this link from jgm's site it is for a classic but should give you an idea.

i would give the nuts and bolts a good spray with wd40 the day before to allow it time to penetrate.
