easy to install you just need to drill the holes throught the existing diff plates

easy to do but to do it properly you need a right angle drill attatchment to drill the drivers side holes
my brother and his mates overcome this problem by just welding the top of the plate to the mounting bracket their cars passed engineering and have all coped a punnishment without a problem

If you drill the outside hole on the drivers side you could bolt the inside plate where the arm sits in the gap and just drill through the first hole and use the caster plate as a guide.

Hope that was clear.

anotherway to say it would be bolt both plates on the right hand side of the plates they bolt to drill through the top holes.

use an angle grinder... but why would you want to remove them?
