General fitting rear bushs on a mk1 punot...how hard can it be?

[Station Master]

Hi.

So ive just fitted new 15" wheels to my mk1 punto, and in the process found out that my rear bushes have gone on drivers side.
Does anyone know how hard it is to remove the old ones and fit new ones?

Cheers :worship:

If your talking about the bushes on the spring it's pretty easy just take out the nut that holds the shock which is a 15 socket and it should do really....... I think

OP really needs the workshop manual for full details.

The issue will be seized bolts that may have to be burnt off and bashed out.

Working on the rear bush, bolt is out and bush is free from the top frame. Can't figure out which way it should come out now. Up or down? If it's up, how do you get enough space to withdraw it? I can't find anything about this in the Haynes manual, can anyone give me a clue?

OK, much easier to shift when both bushes are unbollted. Now do I need some sort of press to get the new ones in?:chin:
