Rear Bushings

G'day Men,

I've just taken delivery of a set of Steele Rubber rear support arm bushings for my '56 Patrician and am seeking some advice about the best way to tackle the job. I've consulted the service manual but it provides very little information That I could find on the subject at all and I've done a search on this website but drew a blank as well. On the face of it, it doesn't look too complicated but with the torsion bars hooked up back there, I don't want to end up with a catastrophe. Are there any pitfalls to be wary of? Also, is there a "better" way to do it rather than just undoing 4 nuts and lifting the axle sufficiently to remove and replace the bushings. All advice gratefully accepted. Thanks, John
