You have to remove the shock. Old one presses out (or falls out ) and the new one presses. You will need some deep sockets or length of tube so that you are pushing on the bush and not the cross piece that bolts to the mounting point.

Hi

www.discovery2.co.uk has a how-to on a shock bush. Might give you some pointers.

Cheers, Andy

^^^^^ the guide on discovery2.co.uk is pretty much the same way as I was trying to discribe.

I have the benefit of a press so slightly different

.....but yes, remove shock from vehicle first.
