omg what an **** of a job!! i decided to embark on this little job on Sat afternoon, 3 hours later.....
what i would say is it would have been easier if i had some ratchet spanners instead of 4 different sized ratchet handles which were either too long or too short...i ended up nicking a mates snap on spanner to undo the evasive two nuts per bush....turning 1/6th at a time, took me ages!!! thats after having to unscrew the 10mm nuts which holds the exhaust heat shield to the ARB bracket whilst dodging the exhaust... once off i found myself having to jack up the hub of the wheel with another jack so the bush aligned up, then having to tighten whilst clamping the bracket to the car with some variable plier thingys.... anyway its done now but i would seriously urge anyone to pay a garage an hours labour to save the hassle - just hope the fronts are easier than the backs!!
