Despite it's insignificant size, it's a b*gger of a job to do with the engine in the car, with the increased risk of stripping a couple of the bolt heads, so extreme care needs to be taken.
It might be worth providing the following link to your mechanic so that they have knowledge of what's involved. This was for work on a 4.2 32V engine, with notes at the bottom for the 40V ones. MJ may have a much better insight on any other possible snags along the way:
