Front Bushing Replacement

[Ratty]

Hello all,

 

The front RHS lower suspension arm rubber pivot bushings on my 1996 ZX 1.9D are on the way out. I think I have the necessary spanners to get the arm out but would appreciate some advice on whether I will then be able to remove and replace the actual rubber bushings. If the job calls for a press or similar then my 'workshop' (a.k.a. The Pavement) is sadly not up to the job.

 

Any suggestions much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Ratty

Many thanks for the grisly evidence, Techbod. The jury is still out on whether your post is intended as encouragement or warning.

well lets look at it another way ( do you need special tools ) when a good working knowledge on these things can help save money or just go and buy a bush replacement tool or think how you could make one,

the answer is to encourage you to to use your imagination to save money ;)
