It's simply three x 8mm bolts holding the cap on and 3 x 3mm allen bolts holding the rotor arm on, plus remembering the sequence of the HT leads on the cap!

Simple bolt off and bolt on swap. Unless it's an M20 in which case there's virtually no access and you'll lose alot of skin! Easier with the radiator out...

In that case the cap and rotor are coming off anyway. Include a water pump in that lot.
