Here's a link.

I have done this twice, and I can't say that it is easy.

Do you have a Bentley manual?

good luck,

Gerry

I do indeed have the Bentley. I'll take a close look at it. Unfortunately, it is really hard to take pictures in there. I couldn't see any details in the photos as to which sides of the obstacles the little air channel edges go.

I the ground wire to center case is too close move it forward on the center line nut
You want the VR either up at 12 o'clock or down at 6, no in between.

I was able to connect all the wires properly (I took lots of photos during disassembly. I didn't know it was aimed to cylinders 1 and 2 - I thought it was for the air duct. Knowing that should help - I've been trying to rotate it one way and it doesn't need to be that way? Reporting back soon.
