Dont rush it and take the exhaust off, it saves the swearing and grazed pinkies...

Have your 'Loctite' or similar handy as you only just about have a full nut on the shorter bolts xx

fitted the skidmarx hugger,the photo's did indeed come in handy,when it was all done & put back together there was a creaking sound,my mate was here & simply touched the bottom of the hugger & it stopped,let go & it was there again,there is clearance each side & top & bottom,i then moved it slightly & now seem's to be ok,anyone had this creaking sound after fitting one of these.
