Maybe best from underneath.
Yes its possible. Even if you have to take the inlet manifold off you won't have to take the whole engine out.
The best way to do it is to drop it thru the bottom, bit of a tight squeeze but is possible, you might need to remove the driveshaft to be able to get it out tho. Thats the way i'va always done it, loads easier than removing the inlet manifold.
