W211 front ARB replacement

[Turts]

Hi, has anyone ever changed the front ARB on a W211 .
I started today and have got stuck with the front two torx bolts on the ARB bush clamps ( the 2 bolts nearest the front of the car.)
It looks like the front end needs dropping as the 2 torx bolts on the bush clamp are partially inaccessible.
Everything from google shows a different clamp that is easily accessed with 2 bolts underneath... trust me to get the difficult option !

Any help would be great
thanks Steve

Rang Indy Mercs at Nottingham and the guy said that the front sub needs dropping to access the 2 bolts.
German engineering :fail

Sorry no help. Have not touched a spanner in 30 years but like to read about these issues so that when my Indi tells me I have a problem I have a better insight into what needs doing and the cost implications
