My bushes are knackered and am going to go the same route as most of you despite the warnings on safety floating about.

 

 

Just want to know how long it took you DIY'ers out there to fit the whole kit and was it difficult?

 

Cheers,

Yes, it's a pain and takes ages, even with a ramp and press. Worth it though.

 

The anti-roll bar and front arm ones are relatively simple, as is one of the steering rack ones.

The rear subframe ones and diff mounts are a nightmare. You need to drop the subframe then press / cut all the old ones out, then press the new ones in. Allow about 12hours non-stop to do the whole lot in one go.

12 hours! Oh the joys of Zed ownership! Sure its will be worth it as you say though:)

When you do the ones in the front lower arms (not the tie rods) don't press them, it tends to squash the arms. Best way is cut the excess rubber from the outside then heat up the 'tube' they sit in with a blow torch. Eventually, after stinking out the whole street, they'll more or less just drop out on their own.

Ok, will do. Just need to buy a set now. Then I need to spk to Matt MTL very nicely indeed for a hand!

Like this ;)

 

Depends on who's around when you're bent over fitting them ;)
