colintandy:
hi all anyone tell me what the easist way to remove bushes would like to change front but not sure best way gonna start with panyard rod ends and then have a go at the radius arms im limmited with tools i dont have a 20 tonne press! whats the best way at home to do this job thanks all

Paul:
A socket just smaller in diameter than the bush and a good strong bench vice.

colintandy:
just bang out then using socket and lump hammer put new ones in same way or are the easier to re-fit

Range Rover Blues:
Fitting polybushes is easy, just push them in by hand.  To remove the originals you could burn out the rubber using a blowlamp then cut the steel outer of the bush with a hacksaw intil it falls out.  If you don't want to burn rubber so to speak you could also drill through it with a very sharp drill bit, perhaps one meant for wood.  You will need to drill close to the steel outer though as sawing through rubber takes forever.

colintandy:
i could get my little staffy to chew them out !
