What a pig of a job but glad I got it done. Now to sit and have a beer. Hopefully a few years before I have to get it done again.

Are they really that bad to do mate?
Reason i ask is a mate needs them doing and i was going to offer to do them, but having read your post, i'm now thinking i shouldnt offer

Ok maybe they not too bad but getting the bottom bolts out were a ******* as there's hardly any room to work down there. Try to move as many hoses at the top out of the way before you remove the rocket cover.

drivers side is hardest

its not that bad of a job, agree its a pain,but its really only that last bolt at the bottom near the subframe thats hard to remove

as long as you use genuine gaskets and a very good sealant with it, no issues should arise

Hard to remove why?

Lack of space, or something else?

Lack of space.
Undo engine mounts, jack up under the drivers side bank of cylinders. Piece of cake after that.
