How easy is it to change the front and rear roll bar rubbers on mk1 18tdci?

    The rear anti-roll bar rubber bushes are easy to replace.All you will need is a 13 mm socket wrench and possibly a 13 mm spanner.You might consider a bush upgrade to polyethylene.Don't know about the front never had a need to do any work on it so far.
