They are part of the assembly and should not be removed. Fit genuine bushes only NOT poly bushes.
 
Thanks chaps no wonder I can't find them and already got genuine son order then to find someone with a big enough press to get them in
 
Any good tips for getting the new bushes in they look to big do I need to file a small edge on them to start them off

A bit of fairy liquid can help. If using a press then do it slowly with a little rest every so often.
 
I'm going to take them to a local garage so hopefully he will no the tricks of the trade
 
And for the next problem can anyone else tell me the correct part number for the two front radius arm bushes on 1999 p38a the part I got is ANR3332 and the fella in the garage said they don't fit when trying to push them in for me

That is the correct part number and the bloke at the garage is a muppet. Special tool needed to compress bush as it it being pressed in. What a bloody plonker he is.
 
Would a large jubilee clip do the job as it goes in or do I need that special tool cheers

Yes. The O/D of the bush will be around 61.5 mm the I/D of the radius arm hole is 60mm. Clean it up and apply some grease. Put jubilee clip on about 3 mm from end of bush and tighten until bush enters hole once engaged in press remove clip and press in.
