Good luck is all I can say. The one with the hole in it is dead simple. The two piece round one is the problem. Getting the old one out is a total PITA. What I did, is what I know a lot of people do. Get a spare set of LCA's either new or used, use the opertunity to get a new ball joint in them and swap the bushings on the bench. Then its an easy swap of the LCA's about an hour a side I would say. Get all the hard work done one weekend, do the swap the next. <br>
<br>The way to get the round ones out is mixed. One way is to drill them out with lots of drill holes and then lots of pushing and hammering. Or cut the metal sleve and then pushing. Or the most fun way....torch them out. I honestly dont see how you could get that one out with it on the car. And at that point you are only a couple more bolts away from just removing it totally.<br clear="all">

I have a set of SuperPro lower control arm bushings that have never<br>
been put on the P10. The rear bushings are installed, but the day I<br>
installed them (almost two years ago), I ran out of time and didn't<br>
have a lot of gear to do the fronts. Anybody ever done this on a car<br>
without using a lift? Any specific or general tips?<br>
