Did my a frame bushes last night but went poly on ever6thing. The bushes come out with ease if your get a perfectly size drill bit (think it's 9mm) drill 5 or six holes through bush, clipiing the inner sleeve too putting slices though it, socket on one side of arm then in press or vice and it'll pop straight out. Then just hacksaw sleeve and chisel out. Doesn't take 10 mins and barely any mess. I'll never burn one out again!

I pressed in the new metalastic bushes without any problems. The axle no longer lines up so I will have to be creative in fitting the arms back in

I think that with me hitting the bolt to try and get it out, I have twisted the axle around? I probably should have done them one at a time but was impatient
I have tomorrow off to get it sorted and back to the mot station

Put 1 arm back on then chock that wheel. You may need to jack/drop the nose of the diff.
To put the other arm roll the unchocked wheel back.
I put the poly triangle bushes on the arms first.
Happy spannering

My Landy in its natural habitat, stuck at the bottom of a muddy hole
The picture doesn't do it justice......

Nice to see you put a shackle on & not used the front tie ball

Indeed, it took some effort from another 90 but we prevailed
