they come out the top mate i`d say its a 5-6 hour job first time round if your any good with a spanner,undo the box first(you`ll bennefit later)you can leave air con pump power steering pump and alternater all on the engine.just disconnect the engine loom from just behind the drivers headlight,injectors,coil packs,lambda sensors etc will need disconnecting seperatly,undo your engine mounts from under the arches(easiest way i`ve found) then its just vacume pipes,boost pipes(rubber and hard pipes from side of engine) and water hoses,2 of at rear of engine(tip engine forward to gain access)and then have a good check round for anything you`ve missed(or what i`ve not mentioned like exhaust,radiator etc lol) and out it should come,i hired a hoist last time there about £20-£25 for a day or 2 hope this helps and good luck mate there not as hard as you might think.
