Any tips on changing servo on 182?

Wondering if anyone has any experience changing the servo on 182? been looking online and some threads on here. Found this pretty useful...
http://www.cliosport.net/threads/tips-on-easy-removal-of-brake-servo.743948/
Guide says about removal through the car from behind the pedals.
I've had it booked into 2 garages and they don't really want to get involved with it. People have said that the engine may even have to come out due to the lack of room?
Can anyone shed some light on this? if its easier than it looks (and the above guide is accurate) could save me some cash not having to book it in.

Thanks in advance

f**king awkward, that's for sure.

I'd say it would be possible with the engine in, but you'll have to bring it forward in the bay. Inlet off. I'd also want the O/S driveshaft out to get better access from underneath also.

All that said, i've only ever removed one engine out which is easy, and am only going from what i remember..

@Dan@SJM will probably know though.

Id pull the pedal box out and do it that way
