some bushes are in two parts ,others are whole and you need big washers ,threaded bar and other bits ..
this is how i do a whole bush ...
line up bush, insert threaded bar,put a big washer to cover bush on one end, put nut on end, on other end but a big socket or another big washer and nut .
start to tighten nut so the bush goes though the part ,dont forget to grease up it makes it easier ..
front wishbones they need to be pressed so will need a press or a garage to do them..
check out you tube and wheeler dealers as he done it same way
hardest part is getting old ones off and time consuming putting new ones on

to clarify...
I am replacing all the rear bushes...
all the ones I have removed so far had an outer metal sleeve
what I need to know are the ones in the rear subframe the same?
don't wanna start cutting/hacking if there is no outer sleeve
