removing the front roll bar

[Jez]

Does anyone know if the front antiroll bar can be removed by just removing the rear u brackets. Can you then pull the roll bar out of the drop links? Or does one of the links need to be removed as well?

Need to undo both drop links I'm afraid.....and I would give them a generous soaking with penetrating oil over a day or two.....I've had one snap on me, but that was in the days where a quick trip to the scrappy would sort.

thanks

Thanks. I am not surprised, but I thought it worth an ask. I have a pair of the MK2 Golf links I hope to fit during a front end rebuild. I am getting a local engineering company to make a few bits up, so the Golf links will work. If I learn anything helpful I will post it. The Golf links were £1.78 + VAT each!
