Reckon this is best to leave to a garage.
Chances are that when you come to loosen, many bits will be seized.
Thankfully I had the dealer do mine.
It was cheaper for them to renew parts rather than spend the time trying to free them. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I agree had mine done a while ago and at least 2 bolts had to be ground off.

Garage job me thinks.

front or rear bushes ???

either way you will need a press to remove the old ones.

If its the front you will need to get the geometry re-set, if rear then your ok

Easier to replace the arm but more expensive.

Just had one side done at front - rear bush and bottom balljoint including laser alignment for £175, but he did break his press doing it !!!
