're changing the bushes ,removing the arms is simple if the pinch bolts aren't seized,removing the old Bush's is simple ,I run a hole saw thru the rubber ,opened a hacksaw and put blade thru and reassembled saw and cut the sleeve and popped it out with a screwdriver,10 mins will take all 4 out ,now the fun part ,,i am lucky enough to have a neighbour with a 10 tonne press in his workshop which pressed them in very easy,the big issue was getting them to sit square to get them started ,we filed the leading edge by a mill or so just to help them start square as the arm is alu and the bush kept biting and going of square ,the edge we filled sits out of the arm so it shouldn't matter , 're loading the suspension i did more or less what mj had said ,thou i hadn't thought of disabling the Jack mode
