It says simple DIY fitment.
How simple is that exactly and how difficult is it to remove the old ones?
Can it be done comfortably without ramps?

Straight forward job, an hour and a half inc a coffee.

Sometimes the remains of the old bushes have to be pulled out using threaded bar,nuts,washers and a suitably large socket.

Axle stands were sufficient.

I don't have any axle stands. Maybe a convenient kerb will suffice?

[Ian Hulley]

Suppose that's possible ..... time to invest though perhaps ?

Do you put them just behind the jacking points?
