Disconnect the battery!

Then just pull of the spade connectors + HT Lead (remember where they go)

Undo the mount. Then fit the new one.

Simples.

If you don't have a Haynes manual there's a PDF one in the maintenance section ^.

If your a bit unsure (its really a simple job) have a look in the section covering ignition.  Theres a diagram for you to follow.
