Upper exhaust bush removal / replacement

[pies]

Ok gents i need to replace the upper exhaust bush but i cant see how i do it.The bolt drops down through the bushes and the nuts are on the base.The bolts are about 75mm long but there is only about 15mm clearance above

How do i replace the bushes?

I can only think you are talking about the two bobbins that form the exhaust mounts. One in the middle of the car, one at the back. They are a different size the front one being a smaller one.
These can be purchased at any decent motor factors for a few pence to pounds.

Open ended spanner will hold the bolt from moving or get onto the nuts. I think mine where trapped bolts with the nuts on the bottom when I did mine.

Dont forget to get decent sized washers to spread the load onto the rubber bush.

Only a 20 min job to do.

good luch

Yep there the ones,but I cant see how I get the top bush off.Here's a piccy

There's loads of room to take it out at an angle once it is unbolted, the hole in the chassis is much bigger than the bolt.

Anyone know where you can get those rubber bushes? One of mine seems to have gone walkies.
