Don't panic..! I took mine out and cleaned it. Absolute doddle. Remove the battery beforehand to give you some space to work in...

Paul it's very simple, just remove the air intake pipe from the manifold and you will see the stepper motor there. It's held on by 2 small screws/nuts. Not the 3 on the plastic!! Remove the connector plug and unscrew the stepper. Take it out, put the new one in, screw that one on and reconnect the plug. Done. Now you might have to adjust the idle speed using the screw on the top right of the manifold. It's embedded in a small hole you can't miss it. Only turn this if necessary though! The car should idle around 2k rpm at start up from cold at be around 650-800 at running temp.
