Spot on with the first part.
The Haynes manual said to work from underneath but you cannot see or access it. I had to work with various extensions, flexi's, downsizers etc and female star keys to get it off whilst working from the top. It can be done with the engine in situ, I had it down to an hour at one point.

If you pull it you will break it, thats why they are like hens teeth. Don't confuse it with an X16XE which is a lot easier.
