Saab sells replacement rear bushings as a complete assembly with a new aluminium housing, but we're installing a polyurethane insert, so the old bushing needs to be pressed out of the housing. A hydraulic press should greatly speed up the rear bushing removal, but since it's not a common household appliance, we will be using a hacksaw and a gear puller.

Tools:

• 18 mm socket: rear bushing retainer nut, ball joint nut (optional);
• 17 mm socket: wheel bolts;
• 15 mm socket: control arm bolts;
• 13 mm socket: ball joint screws (optional);
• 8 mm socket: plastic shield screws;
• torque wrench;
• car jack and axle stands;
• breaker bar;
• gear puller;
• hacksaw;
• hammer and rubber mallet.
