Fitting a Whiteline Anti Lift Kit to a Classic
How do you loosen the bolt holding the bush to the control arm, there is no space for a socket it seems?

I've never done one mate, but in general if there's no room for a socket you'll need a ring, or open ended spanner, or a crows foot.

Yeah that's what i was thinking but it's a highly torqued bolt.

Hmm, what about a crows foot on a breaker bar ?

Doesn't look like a socket and bar will fit, i need a proper look but it doesn't seem it.

crows foot are not the greatest for high torques as they normally open up. I'd go for a ring spanner.

That's what I thought, but trying to get high torque on a ring spanner is hard, hence the recommendation of the crows foot / breaker bar. That said, a good dose of WD40 etc might loosen it?

Actually that nut is supposed to be tightened to 186 Nm / 137 ft-lb which is quite a lot when using a ring spanner.
