Hi
Did mine this year (Elite Estate, 2000). Had no problem at the top end at all, but really struggled getting the lower end of, it just took persistance, and lots of pulling and pushing side to side to free it off the bush mounting. Did both in less than two hours, but arms knackered when I'd finished!

Good luck, Pat
