Fair enough, guess I should've pointed out that the photos I took were of the removal, not fitting - I just reversed the process. In any case, it takes a couple of minutes to remove the tail piece, and the while you've got it all apart you can lube up the bolts to stop them siezing in the future.

I can see how the suggested methods will help with fitting the mounts, but I don't think they would for removal, especially with corroded bolts.

Each to thier own though. Tim, I'm sure between the posts you can sort out which is best for you. A collective solution!
