Im gonna change the bushes that sit on either side of the ARB that connect to the wishbones.

Am i gonna need a press to get these in or is it a simple swap job?

Cheers

Matt

its easy enough, get the car on axle stands, then once the old rubbers are out, put the new bolts in then use a trolley jack to jack up on the ARB end. hammer the bolt back through then you should be able to do the nut up :)

You may need an assistant with a crowbar to lever the ARB back ... if the holes don't line up, we had to do this on one side of arj's car, just stuck the crowbar between the wishbone and arb. Crude, but it works without damaging anything.

Search for a thread by me FAO: Mat Brown, in general discussion, or pics iirc, shows how i had to clamp/jack mine to compress them
