ARB Bracket question

[SD]

The right front ARB bracket on the Touring has broken. Metal fatigue has taken it's toll - and it is only held on by the back bolt.

Are the brackets held on by just bolts into the subframe, or is it a nut and bolt affair? PITA to get on and off?

one end has a lip the other is nut and bolt

As Jhonno say one end is a lip the slots in and the other has to be bolted ,,,having watched my mechanics do it, it is a right sod to get on,,,you def have to have it on stands with the arb link arms undone and have an assistant to push with a tommy bar whilst the other puts the nut on

It's a nut and bolt affair, piece of cake to remove but can be a b@stard to get back on.

Best way to refit is; use screwdriver to line the holes up whilst clamping the bracket to the subframe with a pair of mole grips.

Best of luck

Did mine at the weekend, and yeah it can be a pain..

Cleaning up the arb and the clamp properly helps alot. I used a screwdriver for alignment and then another jack to force it into the correct position.
