I need to replace the radius arm brass bushes that fit over the ball on the chassis of my Ruby mk2 and was wondering if there was an easy way of doing this or is it definitely a full radius arm / axle removal job ?

I think you might find there's enough twang in the radius arms to slip new bushes in place once the bolt is withdrawn Joe.

Thanks for the reply Chris .
I did remove the bolt but didn't want to try too hard to separate the radius arms for fear of damaging the front axle.
I will have another go and see if I can get the new bushes in.
Many thanks for your help.
Joe.

Thanks Ruairidh , I shall dig out my pry bar and give it a go.
Although I have spent the last 3 years restoring my Ruby there is still a lot to learn . Thank goodness for the A7 friends forum  Smile
