Just to add, if you do the poly bushes as well while you are at it - and you should when you consider the age of the exsisting rubber bushes. The a press will really help.

I originally decided against the purchase of a press. I started at the rear of the car and managed to remove all the old bushes by drilling through the rubber a few times with a drill and then pressing them out in a vice. This was time consuming. It wasn't until I got to the front upper A arms (they are 1 piece and too large to fit in even a large vice) that I had to buy a press. I couldn'ty believe how much easier the job was with the press and should have got it at the start.

I also fitted poly bushes at the diff carrier. The original bushes were a nightmare to get out. In the end I had an engineer where my mother works make be a copy of the special tool in the manual. That worked but they were still hard work to get out. The tool consisted of threaded rod, a short length of pipe, 1/4" plate of metal with hole in the middle and a solid metal cylinder with a hole drilled though in which to pass the threaded rod through. The pipe sits over the bushing up against the carrier with the 1/4 plate over the top, the solid piece on the bushing the other side. Then with the rod through the lot start turning the nuts. If you are lucky the bush will move out the carrier into the pipe. One of mine was a pig.
