As far as I know front pulley removal required. Large Socket, Impact Wrench and remember it's a LH thread. I used a box wrench to remove and fit the switch, otherwise I believe a thin wall deep socket is required.

Deffo NOT a DIY job IMO.......unless you have all the right tools, including a LH torque wrench......tightening proceedure is critical.
