Advice Needed - VW Bora Top Mounts

[veetwin]

My Workhorse, a VW Bora TDi 115, requires both front and rear suspension top mounts changing. Can anyone offer some help regarding the job at hand. What special tools may be required (coil spring compressor?) and any helpful hints. I think that the rear beam bushes may require replacement also, what symptoms would the car have if these were worn?

Thanks in advance.
