Is it an easy job ... i.e. undo a few bolts plus are tow bars really worth much when taken off to resell ... ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

not sure about value if its a genuine item, but I might be interested in it as I'm looking at ways of carrying my bike

Pretty sure you need to have the bumper off too but other than that bolt off. You will need the hangers which are removed when you fit the bar to put back on though. These bolt on where the towbar fitted, then unplug the wiring.

Simples...... Ish.  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Long shot but thirds if other two don't.

Bumper off Mick.
I don't think it's a hard job but it will need 2 people to get the bumper off and tow bar frame.

Yeah right. You're married aren't you?

Mick, rear bumper off, strip boot sides , remove rear crash bar, undo exhaust hangers, dis/assemble electrics, remove 4 x 22mm tow bar bolts (mind your toe's) replace original tow eye brackets x 2 and then put the rest back together

Around three ish hours on a newer FFRR (without corrosion) Much longer for an older model IF, everything goes to plan and your an experienced spanner wan er...

When I changed from a TD6 to a TDV8, I owned both cars for a couple of weeks. The TDV8 didn't have a towbar, so I swapped the one from the TD6 onto it.
Bearing in mind that I was doing a similar exercise on two vehicles, and working alone, it took me a day of hard graft. The benefit was not having to pay for the supply and fitting of a towbar, but if in your case you would be looking to sell the one being taken off, I really don't think it's worth the hassle (or risking a hernia, broken toes, grazed knuckles etc).
