Default Bushing kit

I'm putting a bushing kit on my 90 Accord. Should I

a) Get my buddy and wrench through it or

b) Pay my local shop to handle it and does anyone have any idea on how much it would cost to install a complete set. Thanx guys and gals

I did all the assembly and removal of the control arms but had a shop with a big ****** press remove the stock bushings.

You can do everything except for the lower control arms. Will definitely need a hydrualic press. Your gonna need an alignment after because you will be taking apart the whole front suspension. Plan on starting way early in the morning & have a freind w/ you as well - it helps!

Thanx. It seems that My Sat next week is taken. Did the bushings make a huge difference in your handling?

i placed the UCA in a vise and used a socket the same size and pushed it out into a larger socket on the backside. Of course, a little heat helped too (i.e. torch that *****!)
