 There must have been a department at R-R to make life difficult 🙄.
 Good luck
 Mike

 Remove the coiled brake pipe for access.

 Also cover the carpet with plastic and have rags ready to soak up spilled mineral oil.

 Dear Hiroshi Nishio
 Welcome to the forum.
 good points made by Jim above.
 The video shows a chisel being used. I prefer to use a chain wrench.
 Good luck with the job.
 Omar

 I attempted to change them on my Mulsanne last week, they were so tight that I broke two chain wrenches without success ! Ended up having them changed by a Rolls Specialist and the cost made me wonder why I bothered to attempt the job myself. I have done several previously, without problem, using a chain wrench.

 Hiroshi, although you say car is '89 it has active damping that started with 90MY build. Just done similar car-and used chisel to "jump" sphere free to unscrew. As Jim says, remove b/pipe for access.
