Rear droplinks are not too bad, if original a bit of penetrating fluid and a decent 6 sided socket will shift then, can't remember the size, could be 15mm and 17mm. At least they are big enough and not like the 10mm ARB chocolate bolts.

Yes 15mm socket to remove the drop links, and you are correct, the bolts that hold the ARB brackets on are horrible, plenty of penetrating fluid a couple of days before you tackle the job.
