Job done..
31mm 3D printed PU bushing arrived on Thursday so I fit them on during the nice cold sunny day.
1. Loosened brackets to see what force and how difficult will be to put them back on
2. Undone L side first lubricated busing with provided grey lubricant
3. Put screw back on but not tight
4. Repeated step 2&3 with R side
5. Tightened both sides
PS: the OEM bushings were kinda stuck to the bracket but split into 2 parts as visible on the picture. The new bushings were cut on one side so I haven't glued them as they had nice deep groove to sit in. By tightening the bracket with 2 star (size 12) nuts on each side I was confident there is no need to be glued to the bracket as they sit nicely and have no chance to shift from the bracket groove. All my previous cars had split bushing even 2.5ton truck so I am not sure why audi came up with their own bushing patent to be a part of ARB.
