Obviously.....breaker bar and a 6pt long socket. Was a touch easier than thought! Helped having the air scoops off.

Nice work, Col. Well done you. You can build things up in your mind as being impossible when in fact they're very doable. As you found out! Onwards and upwards :D

Risers installed, what a pain in the arse. When the bars are free, you really need 2 people to then pop the new risers in so you have somewhere to rest the bars again. And of course, I ended up scratching my dashboard. The lightest touch of the bar, and I mean the lightest of touches, and it scratched it. Really really annoyed with myself. Might try some PLast X or something, see if that helps.

But other than that, the risers look great and I can feel a big difference on the bar position just sitting on it in the garage.
