take the trim off under the windscreen wipers, then its two nut/bolts one on either side.  Undo, replace and refit, and don't drop the nuts!  The trim fixings need rotating and a gentle lift with a flat bladed screwdriver to come out.

Easy.

Were they normal bolts? I think we saw 2 with star shaped heads. What they called called again? lol

yup normal bolts - 10mm I think.
You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

not easily no. Its just standard bolts. If your's isn't - then you'll have to get a tool which works on them.

Got a coil from GSF
Fitting plus took cover off the throttle housing and it was full of oil.
Sprayed carb cleaner through and ran it a while
Drove back home, still a bit hesitant though
Got a temp sender too but not fitted as the temp gauge does go up to half (in traffic) but doesn't blow out hot air through the vents and the gauge goes back down while driving

a new thermostat also needed then.   temp should sit at 90 degrees always.
