Q: How do I remove the silent bloc bushes for the top and bottom >wishbones? And put new ones in?

A: To extract and refit wishbone bushes you need a special tool (Lancia 8042121) which is used for both top and bottom ones. This is actually a kit comprising adaptors, extensions, various bits, etc and works on the principle that a very long bolt with a nut and a cylindrical segment will push out the bush as you turn the nut. I know it is hard to describe it but if you are really desperate I can send you a photocopy from the original manual. Perhaps you could try to fabricate something which works on the same priciple. The alternative is to try to drift out the bushes but there is so little room to move around the top bushes and the risk of damage is so great that I would not advise trying it. Before doing something so adventurous, are you really convinced that the bushes need replacing? They usually go after crash damage. More likely there might be a problem with the balljoints.
