Sunroof half way back, pull down front edge of bottom panel to release 5 or 6 spring clips, slide lower panel fully back above roof lining, move roof to tilt, and undo six small female torx bolts that hold the roof panel to the mechanism.

Its that easy??

I may even be able to do this one myself

Thanks Brian

Hardest part is unclipping the roof lining. They are just press in spring clips into holes, but can be quite tight.
Take the time to see how the mechanism works while the panel is out, for future reference. There's no problem operating the mechanism with the panel out. If you dismantle any further, beware of the edges of the stainless steel plates. They are razor sharp!

Never used that tool for this purpose, but it should do the trick.
