Its pretty easy to be honest,couple of screws then prise the trim off to release all the plastic clips that hold the trim on,hardest part essentially is lining all the clips back up once you have put the new mechanism in,takes a bit of force to bash it back on,i was going a bit gentle,once i gave it a bit of a whack,job done!

Apologies mate,the screws are attaching the mechanism to the car,there isn't actually any on the trim,i jus used a flat headed screw driver,or a trim remover to pop the 1st clip out then got my fingers behind n popped the rest,and the trim is split into 2 halfs you only have to take the top half off which houses the mechanism.leave the bottom half in situ 👌
