don't really have any words of wisdom, but its a bast@rd of a job tbh! done it a few times and its very very tight in there, best advice I could give would be to have someone else there to help you when lining it all back up again!

It doesn't look easy, but I found the best way is to do it from underneath, as long as the two bolts come undone easily I just used a screwdriver to lever it off both ends. Make sure you lock the steering wheel before starting though or chances are it will be misaligned when the new one is on
