Its an easy job mate, I could do it on my own in 5 mins if I was really trying and if you were local id offer to give you a hand.
Basically use a Torx (T27 IIRC) driver to remove both C pilllar trims. Undo the boot earth on the Nearside with a 10mm socket and the washer hose there also then the 3 wiring plugs on the nearside.
Use a small pry bar or flat bladed screwdriver to remove the metal clips from the top of the boot rams and pop them off then undo the 4 10 or 13mm nuts on the boot hinges and the boot is off.
Refitting is the reverse of removal but don't fully tighten the hinge bolts so you can ump the boot around on the hinges to properly align it.
