It's proper easy tbh...
Remove exhaust backobox and spare wheel
Slacken and remove handbrake cables from inside car (tying string to them so new ones are easier to install
)
Undo solid brake pipes from flexible ones (or from the load comp if ph2)
Take the weight of the beam with atleast a pair of jacks
Undo 6 16mm bolts in the boot
Lower beam to floor on jacks.
Lift new beam into place with jacks
Tighten and torque 16mm bolts in boot
Refit and tighten solid brake pipe unions
Replace handbrake cables
Refit exhaust and wheel
Bleed brakes/adjust handbrake
There really isn't anything difficult, just a bit awkward as the beams heavy, and fiddly with brake pipe.
