Question Rear beam poly bushes ? Steerig rack Q

Anyone got these bushes

I bought these for about a tenner a few month back so at the weekend it's time to fit. Can someone remind me how to remove the old bushes please? Will the old bolts be long enough ?

Also i have a standard manual steering rack which is fine but the amount of steering lock to lock is rediculous so is there a manual quick rack avaliable?

Thanks for any reply's.

Press them out against the weight of the car with a big socket, if the beam is out on the floor I used a 3 legged puller and they came straight out....

New one's pop in easy if you grease them up proper (and watch your fingers! )

to get the old bushes out i drilled into the rubber around it and gave it a little chap out and no problems fitting new ones as said , you can buy quick racks , or there is a geared part that can be welded into the steering colum and i would think dose the same thing as a quick rack but not as straight forward ie not bolt on

I had time to do the bushes tonight, such a simple easy job. I thought it would be pain in the arse but no.
Still cant find info on a quick rack.
