I think they have instructions on their website.

Fitting is easy, but it is useful to have a second pair of hand for tightening the bolts that go up through the tub. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I'll second the above and the instructions with the kit are very clear.
I fitted them back in September and you can see the detail HERE. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

Easy fit, easier with a set of hands inside. Wheels remain on, but I jacked mine up high so rear wheels were hanging down out the way.

I have the instructions that were included in the package and a copy from there web site, no mention of removing rear wheels. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to ![]() Richard |

I see from your posts that you had the same idea of separating/isolating the two metals with rubber, I have obtained sticky backed rubber washers for the same reason and intend to use a marine sealant on the edges of the galvanised brackets to prevent road rubbish collecting in the gap. I have one observation. The mud flat original or the included replacement is suspended from a bracket on three bolts and does not have a strip that would prevent the edges of the mud flat from bending in the air stream.

I removed the rear wheels just to make life easy for myself. It's not necessary but does give better access. Darren

It doesn't seem to be much of a problem, to be honest. With the mud flap mounted on the front face of the bracket, the load is spread across it.
