Classic STi Rubber Mount Bearings Change

I have a set of std Sti suspension top mounts and wonder if anyone has ever changed the bearings. They only have a seal one side and are a common size. Can they be easily knocked out and replaced or is there more involved.

I would assume you change the whole mount, rather than just the bearing. They're perishable items and depending on how many miles they have covered / how old they are it may be worth replacing them rather than just replacing the bearing.

very rare for the bearing itself to be of issue IMO.........more commonly the rubber is perished

we do various options from std OEM through the Whiteline off-set variants to race options as required
