 :lol:   If only they were all that simple   :lol:

I don't want to scare you, but I've had drop arms so well attached as to require removal of the steering box and a lot of work... took about 4 hours in the end...  

It's a typically "Land Rover" job in my experience... the time taken and level of difficulty is inversely proportional to the length of time you have to complete it.

Yep, they can be on the spline so tight that you end up with the box out, a 10 tonne hydraulic puller on the drop arm and then have to warm it with the gas set to make it let go.  It's not often this bad (only the ones you start after lunch on a Friday that the owner wants back by 4pm)!  :D
