I need to replace the front lower control arm bushings in my 2003 MINI base. Is this a job I can do vice pay the dealer $825.

that sounds a hell of a lot of money,!!!!! do you have any idea what you are doing, when you got spanners and sockets in your hand,

I kept a 1969 XK-E running for 3 years, if that's any indication. Spent most of every weekend doing something. Mechanicals don't usually present a problem unless special tools are required, like "spanners". Is there a reference that would show me a stepwise procedure for doing this?
