Just in the process of changing mine out after it died, I didn't remove the air box there is enough room to get it out without removing anything else. Battery negative removed the red power cables were removed and the signal wire from ignition removed. Torx bolts holding the motor to the bell housing were removed using a Torx ring spanner, not enough room to get a socket ratchet head on them. A 10mm ring spanner will fit on these but I prefer the correct torx spanner for a better fit on the bolt heads. Once they were wound out and removed a few clouts with an alloy headed hammer freed the motor and it was easy to wigggle it out of the car. Bench test revealed it was totally dead, new one on order from Carparts4less a UK online car part supplier, will have to send old one back as there is a surcharge on the new item. Just under £50 without the surcharge.
