Rear axel bushes

[Rmachines]

Hm yea my car failed MOT on these buggers.   Now i know its a big job,  should i be able to do it my self?  i already have the parts but its pressing the old ones out and the new ones in im worried about!  Any tips on doing it would be great.

maybe but would be better with 2 of you. axles are fairly heavy. make sure you know someone with a big press

Thats the problem, i dont have a press, getting it off is fine

Big problems... i cant press the things in.. .and all my garages say i need a special press!! they wont do it so im left with no car and no way of getting the bushes in
