Noooooow i thought this would be the easiest job ever to do!!!. Buttttttttttttt no look at the pics i have taken below, the bolt from the suspension is just not long enough to reach the top and if i turn it upside down i cant get down to the bolt

same as mine, but i have coilovers
they are a bastard to fit, i needed 2 take the plastic sides off the car and slide them into the middle so i could get my socket in
its been on a month, got in my way and made naff all difference so i took it off in the end
i had my harnesses off it, dangerouse i know, so ive moved them too to be a bit more legal

Flat bit at the bottom and a socket set should be all you need.
You might find it's a bit tight on clearance - I had to get a mate to sit on the bar whilst I threaded the nuts on each end.
