Yes, no, kinda.
You must remove the cross member but you only need to loosen the y-pipe.

Its not an easy job by any means. You can loosen the Y pipe enough to move the crossmember out of the way. It makes it easier if you have a porta-power to spread the frame rails to move the crossmember (its a tight fit)

Porta power? F-me! You truck drivers over-do everything.

This is probably the only thing I hate about the D1 Disco's is the darn crossmember crap removal for a transmission filter
