Get a can of Plusgas before trying the EGR - drown the bolt threads in it and leave to stand, they should come out a lot more easily then.

I removed the lower valance when fitting the steering guard, as I'd read that it tends to get mangled. You'd need to cut the end caps down but that was a simple job with a handsaw following the contour of the part. Here's where mine ended up cut down to:

I've ordered some "rost off" already. A guy on Land Rover Addict was raving about it (am I allowed to say that on here?).

So, the garage had "real trouble" getting the totally correded bolt out. Had to keep heating it up. To make themselves feel better they relieved me of £59.

One born every day, uh??

Thats a neat job. Do you have a full on frontal picture??

you can take the plastic bit off the centre too.

We've just done that as well.  That bolt just wouldnt budge.  Hit it, jacked it, had a torch on it and everything.  In the end we took the steering arm off and (Tom's dad!) drilled the bolt out; a remarkable job!  Just need to source a bolt the same now to replace it.

We have a rebel guard which needed some modifications because of the HD bumper, so some grinding down where the two cross paths underneath.
