Anti roll bar bushes. Help please

[rustydiver]

Just had deliverd a new set of bushes for the anti roll bar.
How do you or is there a easy way of getting the new ones on over the bit where the nut and bolt goes throught, seems to small.
Dont want to force it on if there is a simple way.
cheers RD.

Are they like Beetle bushes? If so, you'll need to clamp them with a G-clamp or big set of molegrips and then fit the securing plates - stick a piccy up...

Last lot I fitted just lubed them with Waxoyl and pushed them onto the anti-roll bar. To get the clamps on just us a pair of mole grips to squeeze the split close enough to get the wedge started then just drive it on. Remember to bend over the tag at the end to stop the wedge pulling back. Putting in the mounting bolts first kept everything in the right place. Approached methodically took about half an hour.
