It doesn't look like it would be easy. Access will be blocked by a lot of things. Subframe, engine mount arm, DPF is generally in the area.

Give it a quick look though and see how close you can get to it. Fortunately it's in front of the DPF so you might have at least a hope. Look just above the RHS engine arm at the block. Good luck.
