   o thans forthe link, i couldnt think what it was called,
   
   i got my mum to mesure it from a diffrent place and shw got 200mm on both sides lol,
   
   i gave up but then started again about 7pm so its on axel stands fot the night lol, but shouldnt take long tommorow because ive got to the point were ive removed 1 bar, thanks for the help in my other thread ppl but 1 more question,
   the bar thats in now is really really stuck, is a heat gun going to make it easyer to knock out? and is itworth it? or should i just carry on with the wd40?
   
   thanks

   think you can undo the other side and smack it out if its siezed.

   both sides should be 400mm as standard. if you dont have the ARB end plates on the ARB equally this can change the heights. unbolt the ARB end plates and re measure.
