Lieing flat on my back under the car whilst on axle stands :cheesy:

Might have an attempt at changing it at the weekend, if I can't get it out by thrashing it I'll take it to my mates garage, really can't be bothered to take the drive shaft off to remove the bracket :shock:

Mine's torn through aswell. It must be the torque of the engine, I would hate to see how much it moves under load :|
