Mk7 ford fiesta rear axle bushes  replacement  & installation. Doing it yourself is difficult  but not impossible  providing you have the correct  tools  especially  the bushe tool. Took me first time 3.5  hrs  the drivers side & passenger side 2 .5 hrs. Take you time & line up & keep checking allinment of bushe pressing tool when installing. Lube up the bushe sleeve & bushe axel housing for easier fit. Note the orientation when reinstalling & check when pressing  bushe back into axel housing making sure the new bushe lines up in the axel & the old one did. I did one side at a time as its time consuming & working on driveway before bad weather like raining. Its a pain but satisfying when the job you done is difficult & challenging.  Make sure you reinstall  the axel bushe bolt correct position as fitting the bolt the wrong way round will damage  the bushe & not recommended . Saves mechanic labour ££. Main thing is take your time & do have the right tools or your in for some mental suffering if you haven't.
