These are a bit fiddly - in that they go from behind the thermostat housing to under the inlet manifold, and behind thermo housing to inlet manifold between manifold and head, and then off to the firewall.
XLR8 did his from underneath, using ramps.
I tried that, admittedly without ramps and could undo the ones under manifold housing, but thought the other one would be impossible to reach.
Ended up getting the mechanic to do it, and from my perspective it was money very well spent. :-)
He took the battery 'and everything else that was in the road' out and went in that way, not from underneath. Cut the old hoses off, etc
