Big long extension passed above ird but below oil cooler pipes, its very very tight but you can just do it. You have to have removed everything else, I.e. End brackets, drive shafts and dropped subframe. Have you dropped the subframe you are wasting your time trying to get ird out without dropping it off.

The way I do them is (and in this order)
Remove offside front wisbone bolt
Remove offside ARB drop link
Remove lower engine steady bolt
Remove 2 offside rear wishbone/subframe mount bolts
Drop wishbone and knock driveshaft out of ird
Remove 4 remaining subframe bollts (1 offside 3 nearside)
Pull subframe down and rearwards
Remove ird brackets
Remove lower 2 ird/gearbox bolts
Remove upper 2 bolts
This is about the best compromise between amount removed and access

Well, guess it all sucks in the end.
Will have to have a go at tackling this job as soon as the weather improves.
Are there any special tools required other than the average do it at home, have a go mechanics.. that's me.
Not that I'm aware of! Just done the clutch on my 1.8, that was a doddle. Got to do the IRD bearings soon tho so I'll be joining you
