Thinking of removing it as I'll never be towing anyone or anything. I've removed the tow eye weeks ago so is it a case of unbolting the 3 bolts right and left and dropping the bar?

Surely those 2 bolts either side don't need to be removed as they are attached to the main cross member which is secured by the 3 bolts either side of the car?Don't loose the 2 vertical 12mm bolts. They are an unusual fine thread, which take some hunting to find

See what you mean about those vertical bolts now I've looked at the link by dippypud. They look a bar steward to undo what with the rust on them.Don't loose the 2 vertical 12mm bolts. They are an unusual fine thread, which take some hunting to find

Soak 'em in penetrating slosh for a couple of days then warm them a bit ...

Does anyone know what size socket undoes the 2 screws that go through the bar as I'm having grief getting a socket set up there working blind? Thanks

Sorted. 15mm socket. Weird because Dippypuds link suggests a 17mm which was why I was having grief cause it didn't fit

It's off. Cleaned the back up no end and shows off the Muddy Mods silencer as well. Thing weighed a ton. Think I'll stick it on ebay.
