I don't think anything being discussed should need any cutting off - just a few bolts undone. The frame is held by the four bolts through the rear of the boot lid and the four that attach the hinges. The support bracket is held by two of the four bolts at the back.
was thinking of the bit that fits to the inner wing , do know the part that connects to the boot brace is bolted may have one if required
