I had 2 other mate helping me and took 4 hours, but I had a cradle with a new bush in it already. he will need at least one person to help him..If he doesnt know already, tell him that the whole rear end has to come out, and he has to strip the cradle, well he has to take the diff centre off, then the most fun part is take the old bush out. this should take him maybe about 8 hours or more lol. Before he puts the new bush in tell him to put the bush in the freezer a day before so it shrinks so it slides into to the cradle easy. There might a member here to tell you all about it, and he know whos he is...

I was quoted $800 !pedders rekons $300 only though ! so not too sure what they actually do/how they do it as as far as im aware, the cradle needs to be droped n its a pretty big job as LUMO stated.
