I have a new K03s on the way very soon, so I'll look to fit the actuator first  :grin:
how long am I looking for old one off and new one on, roughly?

You mine have to modify  the bracket , or wait for forge to swap the brackets over and be without the car , think there is three different brackets for ko3/ko3s,

Set yourself aside a day to do it mate. Make sure you've got all the bits you need too, the list I made in the maintenance section should include everything unless you want to drop the oil at the same time
