Looks far to complicated for me I think.... MOT next Friday and he's a Vauxhall specialist so I shall ask him for a quote.

I think the pictures have overcomplicated the job a shade.

Prop off, undo the nut , remove the flange then the seal. On refit, the nut has to be done to torque setting.

Mr wood has done this job.
