In fairness it isnt that bad...
1. disconnect pipework etc to enable to raise engine up 3 inches
2. remove headers
3. apply plasters from wounds incurred removing headers
4. remove sump bolts
5. wonder why the sump wont come off
6. remove pickup pipe
7. pick up sump that fell on floor
8. clean up all pieces
9. remove windage tray
10. apply threebond to the cossie sump baffle
11. wonder where the rubber gasket thingy goes
12. clear up threebond spillage and wonder how you are going to remove threebond from clothing
13. test fit baffle
14. refit pickup pipe
15. undo pickup pipe because you forgot to put the sump half on first
16. wipe up threebond mess
17. wonder why you started it in the first place on your own as you need three sets of hands to hold, the sump, the tray and the pick up pipe.
18. figure out a hands free way of fitting
19. finally get it sorted.
All in all not a bad job.
Tip - don't do it alone.

easier to take the engine out to be honest.
By the time you've un done all the bolts and brackets required to lift it enough it is only a few more to enable it to be pulled off the gearbox shoved on an engine stand. spun over and done easily.
As said, it can be done but it's a bloody pain in the ***.
