Why is taking it off causing you grief old boy, all you need to do is un bolt the ten bolts and lift it off......I've had mine off twice now, once to paint it and once to replace it with a polished one....looks like so.

Those are the only bolts mate, you need to detach the plastic cover at the end driverside as well then it lifts off, you may have to use alittle force as it may have been fitted using selant as well so it might be kinda glued on if you get me.
