It’s pretty much the same as any other turbo, if you had previously done one. I got the kit from turbolab under gt22 kit. The only difference is that our turbo spins reverse compare to the traditional ones , this means that the compressor wheel nut is not reverse- counter clockwise to remove. So marked a line from compressor ->nut->shaft to realign it afterwards. Reuse the stock nut because the nut included in the kit is a reverse thread. Unless you request them for a pair.
Also the turbine side doesn’t have a wrench pitch for you to hold it down while you remove the compressor nut. I just wrapped it with electrical tape and a rag with a locking pliers to keep it from scratching. Very simple and straightforward.

Edit: “ This is for the S63 turbo” not for n63(in terms regarding compressor nut)
