Easy, but you cant really see what your doing. Long arms and a 13mm rachet spanner really help

3 x 13mm bolts around the housing roughly 12 o clock - I used a bendy socket extension as spannering is slow even with the rachet spanner, 9 oclock and 6 oclock - which as the earth wire bolted to it.

Then a 10or11mm and a 13mm on the postive feeds

Unclip the the expansion tank and jiggle out

PS disconnect battery first of course
