I forgot to mention, take the turtle shell off,
and get a small mirror and you will be able to see it,
A lot of it is done by feel, as its down behind the back of the engine,
Take care removing the loom/plug, as it could be brittle,
As mentioned above, check to see if it has any oil residue on the inside, if so, spray it with contact cleaner or similar.

Wow, unless I'm looking or rather feeling in the wrong spot but I have small hands and if it's at the back leaning into the engine bay I'd be damned if I could get my hands AND a half inch ratchet in there...

Gonna jack it up and look from underneath...

As you know that's no good as someone's put a bloody gearbox in the way... :D

Altho with another look from above with me phone and flash I can see its not actually that far down.

Now let's get this damn thing swapped out...
