omg I cant believe it. I managed to get one of the inner bushes on! It seems easier than the other one for some reason. Used moole grips to get it part way, then clamp, then off with gripps and set it to a bit tighter, then g-clamp to tighter, and once the bolt was partly in I could screw it in further and managed to get nut on....now for the otehr side and the other wishbone.

lol cheeky **** :D

I like a good whine!

I managed to get the second one on too! This is amazing, used dual action clamp and mole grips this time, jammed the bolt in and screwed it in as it was biting the edges of the hole and just got the bolt on to tighten :D It was still very hard. Not one of my favorite jobs ever tbh...

Don't worry - I'm going to be whining like a biatch when I get round to doing the work I need to do on mine :shock: :( :lol:

i found the poly ones a neater fit, easier to do, but this was with frame off, cant imagine doing it in situ, must be a right ****er :lol:

Other tip is too file the hole down on the bracket and use a longer bolt....makes it much easier :wink:

Did think of using longer bolt but I didn't have any left :(

Oh well! Only track rods and new struts and springs to go!
