I'd advise against it... unless you have access to a hoist. Its in a nightmare position right up on the bulkhead. If you are going to go for it, I also recomment buying a set of brake line spanners:

As you'll need to undo 4 steering fluid lines. You'll also need to bleed the ps system when you put it back in.
