What you describe is the easy bit. As Tom said getting the bolts out
without damaging other parts can be very tough.

Further to my earlier comment, perhaps you should examine your motives for
replacing the radius arm bushes. Is it necessary?
The original bushes are very robust and were made by Metalastic which I
believe was a division of Dunlop. Unless they are abused in some way they
seem to last forever.
