All the same , 9195731. The only other one listed is 90305898 which is for Y25TD only so doesn't affect the UK.

Well well, I didn't know they did the idler arm bush separately. Why would they bother?  ???

Because for some peeps changing a bush seems a cheaper option than the whole arm.
 eg some just change the upright bush in wishbones :-X

Clearly, but that looks like a real bugger to press out, given the large flange on one end.

Cutting out then pressing in might be easier, if a press is available. Can't see that they'd sell many though.
