Apparently it is a big job if you have not got the correct tool, but possible. One garage who didnt have the correct tool quoted me 8 hours labour to do it. I took it away from them and took it to a garage who did have the correct tool and it still takes 3 hours. The bushes are cheap though.

A few people on the zone have done the bushes the long way but there are a couple with the correct tool. The tool I believe is about Ԛ£300.

New bushes can be fitted easily enough with a tool made from a couple of large washers and some threaded rod.
Getting the old ones out is where the fun is!

pretty grim mate.

Done it twice now. Piece of piss the second time!

although i did make up the insertion tool.

my advise: take it to a garage.

so does this mean you need to have 2 pints of beer before starting?
