replacing arb bushes front (rrs with ace)

is it possible to replace the front arb-bushes without the special tools? I'd like to ask my local garage to do it instead of a dealer.
Some tips?

You don't need anything special other than a garage and patience to replace the front arb bushes. Your local garage should be able to do it without any real issues.

Unless the bolts are seized into the crossmember, which does happen more frequently than I would like, then it needs some (a lot of) heat...

Otherwise, it's just a bit fiddly and time consuming

The frequency that my ARB bushes are changed, I'd be amazed if the bolts had time to seize... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Having just replaced my ARB bushes along with complete new ARB too there is no way I would have attempted it without the two special tools (Thanks Dan @ Duckworths ) and a 15mm flexi head ratchet spanner

Even managed to bend one of the tools slightly undoing one of the bolts TDV8 now with extra grin factor thanks to Alive Tunning: Gone but not forgotten

Top man, thanks Rob

I'm on the Disco3 site but have been roped in by my mate to help him replace his front ARB bushes on his RRS SC so I'm doing my homework!

The other thing I've read is there has been an upgrade to the clamps, is it worth changing these as well as the bushes?

It has DR by the way!

Mine was a full anti roll bar replacement so it came with new bushes and clamps but yeah if changing the bushes for first time I would change the clamp too TDV8 now with extra grin factor thanks to Alive Tunning: Gone but not forgotten

I do have access to a ramp but it's a bit tricky at the moment, so I was wondering if it's possible to change the bushes with it on axle stands?

Yes its possible, If I can change the whole ACE ARB on a pair of axle stands then bushes are definitely doable though it is tight TDV8 now with extra grin factor thanks to Alive Tunning: Gone but not forgotten
