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.

thanks heaps zute,

everything went sweet as, and yes as you said no cradle needed bolted straight to the bar, few new holes in the fairlead to bolt up properly and couple of new nuts for the pos/neg wires to the motor and its all good, photos to come :D
