Summer is icumen in, the caravan needs a tug and I've got to sort out the bushes in the eyes of the axle which attach it to the trailing arms to get an MOT. The bolts came out OK (liked the little pips in the tube that effectively stop them from rusting in place- nice touch) however the bushes are needless to say both knackered and firmly seized in place in the eyes. Haynes is very helpful- just mentions special tools and says take it to the garage!

Has anyone got any more constructive suggestions based on experience or am I just stuck with attempting ultraviolence with blowlamp, hacksaw and hammer to remove them?

Regards
