You need small hands and long arms. It's a tight squeeze but can be done with the engine in place.

If it's longer than the original you'll struggle. Most go in with the subframe removed.

Tbh, you only have about 8 bolts or more holding the manifold
13mm nuts
Yeh its hard, but worth it

its easy undoing the bolts from the manifold but its trying to get the manifold out from the engine bay thats the hard part. Its to big to pull down from the engine where the exhaust goes, and withouht removing the top 2 engine mounts and tilting the engine forward you aint pulling it out from the top either

It can come out if you move the coolant reservoir off its mounts too.
