How much harder would removing the rear coilovers be if you left the ARB in place?

Just got home hoping to find my rear ARB, upper and lower control arms and coilovers removed after getting a mobile mechanic in to get them off and he’s only managed one side and the ARB is still in place. The Bentley says take the ARB off first. 🤦‍♂️

I don’t think I removed the arb when I did mine. No need IIRC. Have a look at my Bilstein installation DIY in the FAQ.
