Changed mine twice now, both timed without manifold removal, but I imagine it would be easier with it off & out of the way, the only trouble I had was that the electical connector on No 1 plug rotated under the nut & broke off! There isn't much spare wire to re-make the connector, so I had to strip back into the loom to release a bit more wire, a bit fiddly!
