    Okay first of all does anyone know where i can get hold of some silicone spray? the stuff for lubricating rubber items like suspension bushes, window seals etc

    Secondly, replacing mk1 front wishbone bushes, can i just use a puller and a bolt to install the new one's or do i realy need a press?

    I just pressed my poly bushes in using a vise but different types may be
    harder to fit.

    Toolstation do silicone spray.

    I used a vice with 2 peices of wood on my bugpack bushes.

    I used Copper Ease too.

    All sorted, found some silicone spray in halfords, used a length of threaded bar, some nuts and washers and a socket, all went very smoothly :p
