bit awkward as it runs around the back of the engine.
not sure how much help you need as its only a pipe with 2 ends...front one is very easy and rear is harder to see but remove airbox or possibly easy to see from underneath on a ramp

Marko is right in saying it's awkward. Mine was removed when I had the dpf taken out so other bits were out the way. The front end is easy but I couldn't even see where the pipe went after it disappears under the tandem pump. The bloke that did mine ended up chopping it and taking it out in two halves. This didn't matter as it won't be going back on.

I've done it, there a lung just as it goes under, back part of the pipe flexes and slides out
