Question

If anybody has fitted their own powerflex bushes to the front suspension, how easy is it to get the old bushes out and do you have to remove the wishbone completely or can u leave the ball joint still attached to car??

Thanks

I've done mine. Its easiest to remove the wishbone completely from the car. I found it easiest to drill out the existing rubber bushes then cut through the sleeves with a hacksaw. Suppose you could press them out if you have access to one.

Its easy to get the wishbone back in. Made a bit of difference to my car cos the original bushes were knackered.
