Replacing Anti roll bar bushes

[Frank]

Hi - just a quickie - is it possible to replace the rubber antiroll bar bushes (bravo 1.6) where it joins the front suspension arms just by undoing the one bolt on each side? (i.e. is there enough free play or do you have to remove the anti roll bar completely?)

Thanks

Frank

just buy new arb drop links with bushes, i got the pair for £5 from buypartsby.
its then two bolts on each to replace , really easy, however a crow bar and jack may be needed to help lever down the wishbones, so that you can slip them into place.

anon, yes i have changed both of mine, and im sorry if i am wrong but i dont appreciate the sarcastic comments.
i did not mean slip literally, as everybody else who read this post surely realised.
they are a pain to put in place with the use of jacks , but after battling putting 1 side on using brute force alone, the difference using crow bars etc is somewhat comparable to that of forcing and 'slipping' them in.
its called a metaphor / simile.
let us no how it goes.
