rear beam mounts recommendations
#15

You can either disconnect the calipers and then reconnect them, or it is possible to remove the rear beam without disconnecting the rear brake lines from the caliper, but difficult to get the beam out between the lines. If you do disconnect them, unions can be difficult to undo, lines can twist etc. so make sure you are able to deal with this if it happens.

The beam mounts through the floor require a deep 16mm socket, which is an uncommon size and not in a lot of socket sets, so check that you have one beforehand. If you need one and can't find one in a shop eh. Halfords, a 16mm spark plug socket is an option.
