To carry out this replacement, first remove the right rear wheel, as the filter is hidden just beneath the wheel arch in front of the wheel. After removing the wheel and ensuring your vehicle is on suitable axle stands, you will see the filter.

Disconnect the various supply and return hoses, any connectors attached to it, and then remove the bolts securing it in place. Replace the filter with the new part and retrace your steps to reassemble the components.
