Do you need any speacial tools to change this top bush, and does the car need 4 wheel alignment after? I’ve got one with a bit of play in it (MOT advisory) and I thought I’d change it before it gets too bad👍🏻
I just measured from the centre of the bolt head to a fixed easy to get to point on the upper arm, not saying its right?
I bought a universal bush puller from ebay, but theres a post on here someshere where (bodsy?) used a small hydraulic puller.
Its not hard to do at all and if it wasnt for faffing about with the loose bush I reckon easy under an hour for a first timer.

Bit of an update, bush lasted 5 years, centre punch dimples and loctite still keeping it tight in the knuckle.
So this time new better quality bush, centre punch and loctite again, and off we go for another round.

Look on the bright side, bet it came out easy once you’d broke the Loctite seal. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

To be honest the puller made light work of it, in and out.
