Been following the guide on the wiki. In short, there is NO FOOKING WAY my arb is being threaded through the suspension! Even without drop links and bushes attached, there's no way to get it between the diff and the body. Now...am I being thick and not realising the arb doesn't go over the diff at all? If so, I don't see how it can line up with the mounts on the body. Or, do I now have to drop my diff for the 3rd time in the past few weeks to fit it?

You shouldn't need to drop the Diff, if you want to make more clearance then just undo the M12 bolt holding cover ear to the chassis.
You might have to take a spring out to give yourself more room.
Its possible, if my 23mm fits then anything will fit!

23mm rear arb? 'ckin 'ell! Ok, cheers bud. Removing a spring sounds like a good shout.

I need large arbs to match the high spring rates. In the photo the arb on the right is a h&r rear.
