V50 T5 rear ARB bushes size and fitment? 21mm?
Hello,
The ARB bushes on the back are shot. The ARB bar on the back of my V50 looks to be 21mm? Or 22mm? Most of the listed ones are 18mm or 16mm. Is mine aftermarket? If not, is it 22mm or 21mm? I put spanners on it, and 22 is baggy, but 21 doesn't fit... Also, one side looks easy, but the other side looks like access to the nut on the back of the bracket is hard/impossible. Any tips for that? As always, any help would be ace.

Not sure what the OEM size is, but my aftermarket one is 25.4mm diameter. I have my OEM bar lying around so will measure later.
With regards to the upper bolts, I used an 'impact universal joint' and small extension with my impact gun. These bolts seemed a bit rusted in as even with no tension on them they gave my impact a bit more trouble that most bolts. |

It's the nut in the back I'd the o/s bracket that looks impossible; or are they captive?
