not too hard a swap, although if its the drivers side, you may want to find a way of lifting the sump up, as it fouls the innermost bolt holding on the wishbone. Other than that, straight swap, no complex bits as far as i can remember!

Didnt think it was to difficult, in the haynes manual it says, delay the tightening of the pivot bolts until the weight of ther car is on the wheels, how will i do this when my car is lowered? lol.
