Yea, they can be a b*tch to get on and off.

Have you tried silicoln spray ?

Old skool cheap mechanics like me use washing up liquid !

Give it a go.
 
hmm interesting..
from the pic i would have thought they slid off the roll bar,but im not sure they will twist round the bends in the bar.are they loose at all,do they spin round.?

Get a blow torch and burn the feckers out !

Does the bush clamp not open up ?

I'd see no harm in cracking the clamp open, being as the bolts with clamp it back together again.
 
doesnt turn or anything...ill have to have a go at full power hands on at the ****ers see if i can rip them off lol get some soap in a spray bottle and spray them

Shaun....

You've been quiet for some time now, have you done them yet, or have you smashed your hands in or something ?

With all the aggressive force he was promising to use, i reckon he pushed the car right off its axle stands then rolled the car onto its rof the the style of the incredible hulk, and set about them with an axe...

or maybe he gave up. lol.

A bit late I know but...

Swearing, lots and lots of swearing, and an absurd dose of brut force and ignorance. Couple that with a stanly knife, wd40 or washing up liquid, a small screwdriver to shove between the bush and the arb (to get your desired lube in) and then wiggle away like hell.

Failing that, cheat! whip off the subframe and pull the arm free, then get a blow torch and set it to inferno and burn the SOB's out in about 12 seconds (ok, it will take longer unless you have a proper flame thrower :()

you can get a blow torch on it with the arb still jammed on the car, but for accesability etc its a hell of alot easier with it off
