I've done it, the old rear drop links are off and the new ones are now fitted but what a monumental PITA they were to get off. All the crap on the road and probably a lack of lube when the garage fitted the old ones meant they ceased after just a few turns and the Allan H5 key fitting inside the taper end rounded off. Thankfully the new HD ones have a 17mm spanner fitting next to the ball joints so I won't experience the same problem again in the future.
Anyway, it took an eternity to cut the damn things off and unfortunately, due to the fact that the angle was awkward and the 'cataracts view' out of my full face mask, it made it hard to see what was going on. I ended up partially cutting the mount/bracket, something I have flashed over with some black paint for now to keep the rust away and I'll repair with some chemical metal at some point.
Right, photos.......
By the way, these are up for grabs if anyone wants them, I'm open to offers.....
Good effort mate.
If you know anybody with a welder and some skill James, get them to fill those cuts in the ARB and mount at some point. It will probably be fine but for peace of mind...

Dealer replaced both of mine last year. Took em an hour and charged me £75! Bargain! It was hard work drinking two cups of free coffee and salivating over the new Volvo's in the showroom.

Yes, first time with grinder was hard work and pretty scary for me but the alternative was a set of rear links that weren't going to budge for love nor money. I'll try filling the cuts with some chemical metal, I doubt they'll flag up on the MOT and if they do it will probably be an advisory at worst.
