My advice get access to a very big vice at the very least. Pressing bushes in can be tricky. Also you may need a press to get the old ones out. AS for the alignment, I am not sure who the best would be? Good luck bro, did this on the loon and it was a pig!

Job on my list... let us know just how good/bad it is Pete...

Be prepared for sheared bolts too (did both ARB links when I did teh Rado's front end!)

buy everything that could possibly break including trackrod ends, arb bushes
take back what you dont use

you will need some extreme violence so a couple of good hammers/mole grips would be good an
as pete says a vice ,in an ideal world you would use a bearing press

gas torch can be good for burnin the foookers out

will be worth ittho
