I have heard they are hard to get the bolt in with the poly bush's and some people use slightly longer bolts to make it easier??

get the beam in place and put a jack under it to compress the bush,then screw the bolt in.ive done it a few times and never had any bother with the bolt.but thats 1 way to get it in place.thats the way to get the bush in aswell.

Ok cheers i wil try that. My friend has a press so i should be able to just press the bushs in if i take the beam out completely.

Have to add brake lines and shocks, springs and rear shims also anyway so back will be basically stripped anyway.
