Currently V70 wishbone bushes. But longer term any bushes/bearings that get in my way. (within reason).

At least a 10ton press.

Although iirc Volvo bones are quite reasonable. £50 odd each on a c70

£29 for the bushes is more reasonable.  Banger-nomics.  :D

Hmm  :-\ Looking like it's not worth the hassle vs just throwing some new arms at it.

That red hydraulic press you have by your door... what's that rated to? Any good for this sort of stuff?

At work we've a fifty-ton air over hydraulic press that is really good at wrecking car parts! ;D I find my 10ton press at home cheaper to use.
