[ROVERNET - UK] Rear Bottom link Bushing

[Vern Klukas]

You will have to remove the arms and do it on the bench, the old 
bushings often to have the rubber burned out and the outer shell 
collapsed to remove them, as they kind of rust in place over the 
years.

I have only done the job a couple of times, and used a huge bench 
vise to do the job. A hydraulic press would be best though.

Yours
Vern
