cool ta.

would the old 'big washer little washer' trick do it? ie using a very long threaded bolt and a mahusive washer to squeeze the bushes in?

Is there any benefit at all in buying bushes from another company? ie performance ones?  do they really make any difference to handling over pattern poly ones?

Needs a 10 tonne press, and thats borderline...

I'll agree to that!!

Nah, a 6 ton one (bottle jack) on a home made frame pumped until the safety valve is popping (so about 8-9 ton) and then a light tap on the runner with a lump hammer works well.

The correct drifts are the hard thing to get, just like I have in the garage

That safety valve that popped, it wasn't the jack's, it was mine

I had some wishbones from Buypartsby.com a year or so ago - didn't follow the guide on here (what a d1ck) and ended up tightening the n/side up whilst the wheel was hanging low. So its dead 1 year later... and then I read the guide!!  

Just bought some from vail68 on eBay (£45 for a pair delivered) - says they are FAI - either way they must be better than the previous ones I put on - they were a different brand left to right  

Got a set of bolts off Andyc for £9.20+ so jobs' (should be) a goodun!

i find that a 100 ton brake press works much better!
