Small hands helps.
I did mine when the engine was out.

despite what many will tell you, it IS a job that's entirely possible with the engine in, but it's VERY fiddly and requires patience!

You'll need a 3/8ths socket set, and some small C-spanners

Pulled mine out of my s3 couple months back on my driveway. Most difficult bit was the bottom 13mm nut which holds the MC to the car. Accesible from the top but totally blind so I had a pal guiding the socket on from the bottom. As above patience is the key here.

Crow foot spanner for the unions. Long *** 13mm spanner for the other nut as its deep in the bay.
