It's quite simple really, especially on the ed30 because the DV is at the front.  However if you aint confident get someone to help.

had mine fitted recently at jkm was about a 1/2 hr job for them
 
the instructions are the same for the ko3/k04 but its located at the front of then egine on the ko4

if you have an engine cover on then you will have to remove it to install, have a look at this thread shows where its located

yeah unscrew it and you will see the spring inside

it needs lubing with the supplied stuff too

its also worth doing this once a year, take it off clean it up and re-lube

I must admit, the instructions are crap and a bit of a boggle, but if you setup all the pipes off the car that helped me.
Good luck!
