For those interested - method was to push the radius arm down and using a screwdriver push the rubber back towards the hydrolastic unit so that the rod comes out.
Then again using a flat ended screwdriver at the top of the hydrolastic unit lever it towards the middle of the subframe and then twist and pull out!
New one is ready to go in!
Anyone know the cheapest place to have it re-hosed?

Also had to replace a front displacer which Swift Welding, Bath were able to remove and swap a newly re-hosed unit in.
Now the displacers are fully pressurised I have found the other front one is leaking! Grrrr!

I am just about to get all of my suspension units out & I am going to send of to your reccomendation fingers crossed all four are salvageable.
I am okay just removing all for at once this wont cause problems right?
Car is light now as I have just taken engine out.

Car will run on bump stops so all 4 at once is fine.
