I can't see why he says bush #3 can't be changed because there's nothing blocking access to it. Bush #2 is trickier because of the curve of the arm, but it can still be changed with MGR tools. RAVE (page 64-10 Repairs) shows them being used - one to push the old bush out and another to press the new bush in. There are six tool ID numbers.




Your man is right though - it's easier to fit a new arm (but not necessarily cheaper).
