Hello, Nowhere in the archives can I find any information on lower control arm bushing installiation, I know people have done this,but I will submitt to the archives how I did itNot much to it really..First, that VW special tool is not  needed.I had to completely dissamble my front suspension to get to this gem.I included its' replacement w/all that other stuff usually replaced at this time.I guess it could be pressed out w/a ball joint press,but why do that?I just included this operation with the pressing in of the new bushing($20).I removed the through bolt that holds the lower control arm on.Only slight effort was then needed to remove the control arm from the vehicle.Even less effort to reinstall it.Thats it!
