there were 3 on mine could only get to the third from underneath with a long extension socket.......be careful not to snap it, good luck, i have recently had a full exhaust supply and fitted and a punture repair for £215 didnt fancy changing the exhaust myself not much room underneath when your on the floor. good luck

I have did some Health & safety work for the local Garage I use, so he might do it cheap. I only Paid £28 for pipe and he only charges £20 Hour labour, they have the lifters pits Tools. I have been spraying plus gas on & around the flange but you can only see one bolt

quick fit wanted £130.00

Changed mine recently, definately three studs on a cam shaped flange, if you crawl underneath you should be able to see all three with a torch.
I did mine without jacking up or unbolting anything else but it was a bit of a tight squeeze to say the least.
Other members recomended passenger wheel off and unbolt the front of the drive shaft which seems like very good advice.
Undoing the nuts was nerve racking as they where tight even with plenty of plusgas.
Good look:thumb2
