Hi
Is it possible to remove a fixed adjustable height towbar without removing the rear bumper. Can I get to the 2 bolts on the support arms ?
It's fitted to a D4 I have been looking at, but haven't actually seen the car yet to get under and have a look.
Cheers

Absolutely, drop the tow ball off and, if fitted the larger plate with the two pairs of holes in it, undo the two bolts holding the brace arms from the drop plate, remove chassis bolts and take brace arms off, use key to remove drop plate exactly as you would the removable tow bar.
You'll need a 10mm Allen socket plus a breaker bar with the appropriate sized sockets as well as ring spanners in the same size (recall the instructions say 18mm, 21mm and 24mm). D4 - Stornoway Grey
D2 V8 - Zambesi Silver (rust free JDM import 😎)
FL2 - Sd4 HSE
