Any top tips on getting the top two retaining bolts undone. There no room to get my big bar between the top of the bolt and the floor. Even swearing at it didn`t work........

Ring spanner, then a second one locked on to it as an extension.

They will be tight and there's a good chance your going to skin your knuckles.

Panic over....... Lol.
Found a mug of PG and a couple of chocolate Hobnob`s did the trick......
Heavy bugger when it slid off the jack and landed on my arm.
How can something so small be the weight as a small planet...

I hope you put alittle bit of Loctite on the 4 bolts.
If you can't torque them up, it helps, as they have been know to work loose.

I can vouch for this.. as I found the source of my clunking sound when shifting was due to one of these suckers completely coming out, and the other about 3/4 there
