Are you fitting Powerflex bushes? I wouldn't bother unless you don't value your teeth fillings.

Removal - DIY? - yes - A cut with a hacksaw blade and outer portion of the bush and it will be persuaded out with swearing, large socket and copious amounts of hot tea.

Refit is reversal of process (minus hacksaw cut) with swearing in different places. Clean out and lube the frame holes...

Good Luck.

There is a tutorial type thing on PumaPeople for doing this. I chickened out and got someone to do it for me.
