Ok, for those of you that don't know hear is a little walk through on how to remove the stock rear bar off your sprinter (aus spec)

You need to undo the bolts near the mudflaps and also take off the mud flaps(if fitted)

now you will need an 19mm soket with extension to undo these as they are pretty tight, we also used a bit of leverage to help

pphhh, who needs plate lights, just means that random people can see your plate number at night....

Way too much stuffing round to fit, wouldn't want to do it again.

that is the easy way, if you want to just remove the bar and not the mounts, then there are about 6 nuts 12mm i believe to undo. easily done with a ratchet spanner though. cheers, jamie

they are easy enough to find... 4 up top of the bar, at the back obviously, and 2 on the bottom corners i think... cheers, jamie
