Well buried is an understatement Scott.
I can say that you do not need to remove the rear heat shield to get
at the cast mount, but on a syncro you do need to drop the rear skid
plate so that you can let the carrier bar down and get at the centre
bolt. It's not really a fun job, even when we have good weather.
