To carry out this repair, you will need some specific tools, so only attempt this if you have the appropriate tools. Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift, remove the rear wheel, and disconnect the handbrake cable.

Use a clamp to compress the spring so you can extract it; support the rear beam with a jack, disconnect the shock absorber, and lower the beam to work on the bush. At this point, use the extraction bushes with the hydraulic jack to remove the silent block and insert the new one. Reverse the process for reassembly.
