Replacement upper arms required

As the Tourer is in the air I thought I would undo the bolts that hold the "D" rubbers in place around the rear anti roll bar. "D" rubber came up last year on the MOT as something to keep an eye on. I have new drop links and "D" rubbers.
Spotted a bit of rust on an upper arm, picked at it. Got a screw driver and went right through it. Oh poo. more work.
The "D" rubber bolts are proving a problem but the two in the centre for the upper arms seem fine. Near side undone, taking 5 before I try the off side. I have spares so it is more time that is the problem, not the cost.

The short, short extension bar I got at the car boot this year has earnt it's keep for the upper arm bolts

spares and tools, seem to need plenty of them.
