take tire off, remove rubber flap from wheel well, that's how almost everyone does it, both sides.

Should only be a 30 min job after that.

Thats it mate, it can be done from the top, but its not easy, go from under the wheel arch, you can see all that side well and reach easy too.

Also, if your replacing the wires aswell. I would just cut the boot so it falls off the plug. SOO much easier, and NO cuts!!!

With tires off and going through the fender flap, the job is not difficult at all.
