Good job. I need to do this too, but not sure about doing it myself.
How long did it take you?

the biggest problem i had was getting the bolt out..pushing the bush out and the new one in took minuits..once youve got the bolt out its easy..total work including useing a big hammer.about two hours..

was there some surface corrosion preventing the bolt from sliding free? Mine had some ...and it took forever to 'coax' it out of the arm/bushing.

I think the bolt was rusted on to the inner part of the bush..after banging away with a small hammer for a while i got my lump hammer out and gave it a few clouts ..that did the trick.
