Oh bugger. Mine is missing one.
Might just pull the other off. Make it symetrical!

try holding the remaining washer with a monster pair of mole grips, or gas pliers. failing that grind it off.

there should have been a nice nut on the back of the bump stop.... holding it on....
the front one can be a pain to remove but it's do-able with a spanner and some mole grips, and usually plenty of plusgas too.
I've found the bset what to do this job is to find a large socket (i mean laaaaarge!) and bang it over the bump stop so that it grips, then on the socket put your rachet, then thorught the subframe tower poke a spanner and grip the nut. rachet away!
