You need that funnel shape bushing tool shown in the Bentley or have one
fabricated. That and some oil makes them go in easily.

Subject: [Syncro] Syncro lower control arm bushing tips?

So, my hand was called. I've been sitting on a big pile of front
suspension parts and avoiding dealing with them. Now I've got a ripped
front CV boot and need to deal with it. I figure this is a good time to
take care of the works.

I'm trying to decide if I do it myself, or if I take it to a shop so I
can actually have a weekend with my family. I talked to a well-regarded
local mechanic (Dan at Louis Foreign) and he said all the syncro rubber
stuff is no biggie -- except the lower control arm busing. He said
everyone he's attempted, he's totally buggered them. Now he just doesn't
do them and no one complains. Hmmmm....

That just doesn't sound right. Anyone have any BTDTs for me on this?

Thanks.
