General concensus is to go for original pug bushes from your local dealer, bout £15 per wishbone set i think.

If you have access to a press thats probably the quickest way to get the old ones out. i smashed a big old concrete slab trying to hammer mine out with sockets n big hammer, drilled through them in the end n they pushed out in seconds afterwards

I burnt mine out last weekend with a blow torch and then tapped and cut the remainder of the shell out. After you've managed one you'll devise a routine and it should only take about 10mins per bush.

 

I would have prefered to have got mine 'pressed' in but I got carried away with grease and a wooden mallet.

 

Get pug bushes, as mentioned £15 per side, alhough if you search on this forum there is a thread with a part nos. for £15 per side including the bolts.

You will see that you can get a kit with bushes and bolts for both sides for £15 ex VAT.
