Freelander 1 Prop off and slacken rear mounts to change front diff bush essential?

Afternoon all

ordered new diff centre mount as old one seem to have split somewhat

Looking through Hippo's guide he removes the prop to one side to aid clearance and slackens the bolts on the rear mounts ( he's changing anyway) to allow wiggle room.

My question is can it be done with everything in situ or is slackening things off like prop and rear mounts/subframe a necessity to get the old bush out and new one in?

Tools and time are in short supply due to dorset trip on early sat morning so the less I have to remove the better to speed things up

Also Am I mad doing a long trip in an untested freelander AA cards at the ready by the way lol

no need to slacken anything of as I made that mistake a few years ago just take the 3 mounts off and you can then put the front one on then the others or so I have been told

You can wriggle the front in by slackening one rear to give give more room, it is fiddly tho !
