First up you need a mate to help you lift the bull bar up, to refit, after you have fitted the winch to it. So yep, first thing, remove bar from car.
It should bolt straight on if its a ARB winch bar. Threaded bolt holes on winch body face forward/vertical.
You may have to turn the gear box, so the lever sticks up through the top if they had it mounted differently. ie with mounting holes horizontal.

Experience is something you don't get, until just after you need it.
