So do as i did, save yourself a load of heartache and pay someone to do the job with the correct as i said professional tool. I can't remember how much i paid bit it wasn't anymore than £150 plus the cost of bushes ten or so years ago. I think it's about a 2 hour job for someone with a lift and the correct tool. Your local garage might only charge you £50 an hour? If so you'll be laughing.
It really is the cheapest way to do this in money terms and time and non use of the swear box!!
