There are two (2) size 30 TORX screws at the back of the wheel. trake those out and OFF comes the wheel.. ( You do have to move it a couple of times to get access to the recessed holes the cover then comes off.... the steering workshop manual (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/steermanual.htm)

if you can get the auto / manual gear box easily then yeah, take the bonnet off and pull out from the top, i prefer the subframe method as its just easier on a 24v

Remember and disconnect the battery, activating the airbag will make you jump! :)

5stud.
The 2.3 comes out easily from the top,no need to remove the rad,but leave the aircon compressor behind.Only problem is one or two inaccessible bolts behind the engine if you are not removing the box.
