Re: Front anti roll bar bushes on a 75.
Not the worlds end of jobs to do on a 75, but as always on suspension work on these has its own limitations in terms of room and access.
I have done a few of these and you will find your own way as many of us do, but some advice:
The obvious one is to support the vehicle SAFELY !
The new bushes go in DRY, but ensure the contact points are clean.
Observe the torque setting for the bolts, many have over-tightened these resulting in bolts snapping, which will result in much fun removing the broken part from the subframe. One of the ones I did had to have the subframe removed as no snapped bolt tools could be used in the exercise due to a lack of room.
Disconnect the drop links off the front to allow freedom of the bar.

These are the the things I did, and found it an ok job to do.

Good luck.
