normally yes.
Don't bother, get some thread rod and thick washers wider than the bushes and pull them into the radius arm, thread rod thick enough will be a few £ in B&Q flate plate washers and nuts all in maybe £15 top line, press will be erm well £££
Or take to a decent small garage and offer beer tokens

I thought as much
how much is 1 of them going to cost me, I have the other side to do yet :boink:
Take it to a garage save yourself the money or if you got a BIG VICE and the right socket.
Hi do I need a press to get new bushes back in the radius arm???. Im not fitting poly jobs.
I've removed the arm and the old bushes , cleaned it up and a new lick of paint.

There a bit more money and it looks like I might still need a press for the front bushes
Only for the radius arm to chassis but that is no big deal compared with all the others!!
I have only gone poly bush due to them coming my way free for a full set on my Disco 1, and I have 40T of pressing goodness st my disposal

Simon you get what you pay for the cheaper versions wear out quicker if your off roading a lot , on the road driving they will last ages
Look on this link the 4X middle bushes are the radius arms to chassis bushes, note steel outer sleeves.

I am in the middle of a Land rover build at the moment, and i found the best way was to burn the old bushes out, and then fit a poly bush equivalent just because they are cheaper and easer ( plus i like the colour )
I also shot blasted them and sprayed them in a 2 pac paint
Here is a link to show you what went on
