The bracket has slots doesnt it? Mine has and you can lift the bracket off slackened bolts. One slot is horizontal and the other vertical so it can be swivelled out of place once the "ball" joint part is removed from the bracket. HTH

It can be done, I had to remove my exhaust manifold, it is tight, but you can get all the bolts out without lifting the engine. You should be able to get the bar out.new to this wrote: ↑Tue Oct 09, 2018 9:34 pmHi Galileo
When I tried today i found the bolts hit the inner wings,do I have to lift the engine ?

I found undoing the subframe bolt help me refit it.
