This is a sample price from eBay:

The anti-roll-bar are included in this kit. What's the price if we buy all together?

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Just been told that you need a ten-ton press to fit some of these. Presumably in the wishbones.

Can someone clarify / dispel this for me? thanks.

POWERFLEX bushes are designed, in general, to be fitted by hand by a home mechanic with no special tools. However it is not always possible to remove the old bushes without some hand tools. The following tips will help you to remove the old bushes if they are not simply a push out bush.

Thanks Dany, Didnt mean to sound thick or worst like i wasnt trusting you all when you said 'no specialist tools required' but he was adamant you needed a ten ton press to get the old ones out / new bushes in.

I may be in for some of these, then. Now, where's my piggy bank......?

[aaronjb]

If you wanted to get the old bushes out intact, you'd need a press.. but you don't - so you tear the rubber inner out with a prying tool and then hacksaw a slot through the metal outer (without cutting through the wishbone! ) and it just drops out with gentle persuasion..

New poly bushes, IIRC, then just drop straight in as two halves.
