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

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.
