Default rear bushes

what are the rear trailing arm bushes like to change? the ones that bolt to the bodywork just in front of the rear wheels,is it a major job or not too bad?

not a major headache just a little time consuming. all straightforward going to get at the bolts needed undone to drop everything down then start attacking the old bushes with blowtorch, drill, hacksaw.
all in all give yourself 4 hours to complete the job. may as well change the rear anti roll bar bushes for uprated items while your under there

theres not massive amounts of movement to allow you to lever them down very far. even if you could it makes it a little awkward to attack the old bushes and press the new ones in as the arms will wave about!
