i found out that my radius arm bushes are on its way out. i thought that i can fit castor bushes instead of standard ones (have 2" lift). my question is, if it is something i can do by my self. i dont have a press but i thought i could use bottle jack somehow. did anyone try it? or is there some other way how to press them in at home.
cheers

You will definitely need a press, sometimes it takes 10+ tonnes to get them out.

If you want to save some coins, take the arms out yourself, and take them to someone who can set them up.
They are a PITA without the right gear, especially if you get the castor correction ones in misaligned
