Get it on axle stands to give some height and get a breaker bar on it, the extra leverage will help!

What did you do with the section on one of the intake pieces on the left hand side that has the wire going in to it? I cut my new silicone hoses to suit keeping it, but you've just got a straight hose with nowt in the middle...?!

I've got an aluminium heat shield that wraps around the front Prop CV joint, this is bolted onto the IRD using the same stud your new bracket is fitted to, presumably to stop the exhaust cooking the grease in the joint.

All finished for today...
 
I told the wife today and she agrees its a good idea..

Phew!!!
That's one lot of explaining I wont have to do.

Once I have them fitted I will just wait till something goes wrong
to spend some time on it,,
the Freelander is as we want it now..

Off roading is the next thing to convince the wife we should do..
Well some light green laning anyway..
