Ditto, half an hour job when you're used to it and have a decent range of tools.

Fingers crossed all the bolts along the top edge will come out OK. The wing fixings can be tricky without the right tools (I use a 1/4" drive 10mm with a 2 or 3" wibbler extension on a stubby ratchet).

Got to say this is not a hard job to do atall..... However those two nuts from the front of the wings on either side where the bumper meets are a tad fiddly.

Took me longer than 30 mins last time i changed one though......
