Front radius arms - rear bush replacement

[Snagger]

Any tips on doing this job? I have to replace these on my 300Tdi RRC, mechanically identical to a 300 Discovery. I can see I'll need to remove the anti-roll bar and disconnect the propshaft to roll the axle forward (with the chassis on stands) so that the radius arm studs clear the bushes. Is there anything else?

When I renewed the radius arm bushes on my 200 I left the car on the ground and dropped the whole arm, did the rear bushes at the same time. I did need a long bar though to get them started. I seem to remember that each side took half an hour from start to finish.

That's great. I did the rear bushes today - one was a real pig as the rubber had expanded much wider than the chassis hole (took an hour to get out).

So, presumably you chocked all the wheels and supported the front chassis to remove the front radius arms? Did you have to remove the anti-roll bar and track rod first?
