    Great video. Do you have to undo the large shaft bolt at the front, just the small screws? Will the shaft slide out sufficiently to remove the arm without taking the large bolt out? I just can't seem to get to it. You don't show how you removed it.

      @@WilliamMurfitt Thanks so much. I got the lower arm out with your brilliant video. The most difficult thing I see now is being able to insert the inside 7/16th screw that holds the plate back in. It was easy to get out but getting it in, I cannot reach it with my fingers enough to screw it in. I have a Cooper S with a Servo in the way. Do you think that has to come out?
      On the radiator side I think I may be able to insert it with a long socket extension from the front.
