nowt if i remember correctly, just take off the linkages and you should be able to reggle the bar out , oh and obviously take the clamps off as well

Not at the moment but will eventually change to an escos one.
I am putting on a 4wd one(mines 2wd), as it is obviously a little better, some numpty that had the car before me has put 4wd bushes 18mm on a 2wd 16mm roll bar!!.
My rear shocks are shot(AVO) so need any antiroll assistance I can get.
Thanks for the reply.

i think you have to remove one of the fuel tank straps aswell to allow fitment iirc

I done it yesterday, hardest bit was actually getting link arms(from roll bar) off the trailing arms.
It was a bit hard getting the big rubber cushion bit off at the back of the diff rear support, god knows how I am going to get it back in!!
You do NOT have to disturb the tank or straps etc, once links are undone and the clamps it falls off(on my head!).
Anyone else have these RUBBER BLOCKS at the rear of the diff support ?, as my other sierras never had them, they(it) fits into two slots cut into the bump on spare wheel well facing forwards towards the diff hanger support.

I've got one of those rubber blocks fitted as well, I'm pretty sure my 1.8 Saph had one as well.
