I was going to use the arms off the car I'm breaking and fit the bushes to that so I didn't have to take my car off the road to fit it.
I have a hydraulic press at work that makes changing bushes very easy!
However if you you don't have a press then a good way of doing them is to heat burn all of the rubber out, then heat up the sleeve in a line so it has a cherry red line up the middle. Then use something the same size as the sleeve if you can and if not then a punch and a hammer and you will be able to hit the whole sleeve out. I did it to the rear axle bushes and chassis bushes at work yesterday on a 1957 Bentley S1.
My spaceship bushes and potentially rear ones are shot so when I reverse with a bit of lock the whole car jumps around!
Other than car park skip are there any other negatives? I can live with that as I used to drive a slammed mk2 golf so a harsh ride is nothing new to me as long as it handles well.
