Are you after a tool to purely fit the bushes or kit to remove and replace?

A kit preferably but if nobody has one  I'll be able to make one when I've got the bushes for some measurements

I've no problem doing the job I've worked on trucks and plant machinery for 25+ yrs , things are always made easier to do if you've got the right tools and if you can't get hold of them I'm all for making my own + I'm a tight yorkshire man who doesn't like parting with money lol

[shadrack]

i always do my own mechanical work as well but they can be a tw@t to do, sometimes its easier to just sit back, drink coffee and watch as others struggle!

[shadrack]

if you do yourself, just borrow a tool then copy it so you have your own

[danny12340_5]

If you can get them out lube the new ones up, put a block between the subframe and body and use a transmission jack to push in. I did it on mine but to be fair I work inside the dealer network so I have the tools to hand to remove them in the first place.

It'll be a pleasure to work on a vehicle inside our workshop  rather than a 30 ton excavator on a shitty site lol
