Last time I did this job (on a different 75), that's exactly what I had to and I've done the same this time too. Personally I couldn't manoeuvre the lower arm out without having the anti-roll bar loose.

The Rover manual that I have says they should be discarded. Is there a revision to this guidance in a later issue? I'm not sure what the rationale for discarding them is though. Are they torque to yield?
