- Bill It often takes more than"a bit" - the cup rusts onto the fixing plate, try squirting releasing fluid in there and leaving it for a while, take care if you are using an angled pry bar that you do not damage the floor while levering.

guys,
thanks for your help. I managed to get them off easy enough, releasing oil did not work, but some help from my gas axe did by gently warming up the insde of the trailing arm cup once the main retaining bolt had been removed by pointing the torch through the bolt hole at the inside of the cup on the trailing arm - realeased a peiece of cake aftert that.
top tip though, clean both surfaces and liberally coat with copper grease. Dont reassemble if full of underseal as the plank had done on mine.
