working on one side at a time support the carrier next to the bush with a trolley jack & then undo the 2 forward bolts on the tie strap , then undo the big nut in the middle which hold the bush in place , hit out the long splined bolt that goes through the bush , this will come out inside the car thats why you take out the seats, gently lower the jack, if the carrier is stuck it will need a bit of persuading with a pry bar, it'll only drop about 3"
Now the crux of the problem, you will need the special BMW puller that cost's big bucks but being a skinflint i made my own , the big brass sleeve is made from a boeing 747 landing gear bearing (an old one )


bush coming out
once you get all the cups lined up you can start winding the nuts on the threaded bar & after a few minutes the bush will pop out

clean up the inside of the carrier with some fine wet & dry & use plenty of hellarine (rubber lube) on the new bush & the inside of the carrier (or you could use washing up liquid ).
You will notice 2 notches cut into the bush , these align with the ridges in the carrier , its a bit of a fiddle aligning all the cup's & getting the bush started straight but once it starts going in it'll set square
bush going in

Dont wind the bush all the way in leave about 1/4" gap on the bottom between the carrier & lip of the bush , this is so you can get the pulling plate on next time you do them .
Once the bush is in jack up the carrier until it touch'es the car body , then go inside & insert the long splined bolt , locate the tie strap & start the nut , start the 2 forward bolts & tighten them up , tighten the big nut up & thats one side done , repeat for the other side
remember i made these tools & i would'nt suggest doing the job with out them & allways do one side at a time
P.S it took me longer to sort out the pics than it took me to do the job
