drop subframe to change front anti roll bar bushes?
do i really have to? can i not just remove the rearmost bolt, slacken the front bolt a bit and then punch out the bush?
or is definately a drop subframe at each corner job?

well the answer is no you do not have to lower the subframe.
if anyone needs to know you just remove the link,
undo the arb bush clamp bolts (simple 12mm spanner is easiest, but remember to throw these bolts and fit new ones - m8 btw)
then clean up the clamp with wire brush
lube your bushes (polys come with white grease)
refit everything in reverse order.
tip - when trying to refit the final link, use a jack positioned under the disc to gently raise the hub up enough to make fitting the link easy.
