Just need to put the steering on full lock to get enough access to it. From memory I used a deep socket on a short extension on one side and a ring spanner on the other. To be honest, dismantling was so easy I didn't really think about how I did it. Re-assembling with all new bits was somewhat harder.

The front lower rear wishbone bolt hiding under a black plastic cover I had fun with that one trying to wedge the spanner on the wishbone bolt the going inside the car to tighten it up only to hear the spanner fall off And for the op here is a guide for fitting the bushes as it covers removing the wishbones as well linkalso as stated Re-assembling is harder especially fitting those damn caster shims in I only managed to get 3 out of the 4 back in with poly bushes but I will be getting it geoed soon so where ever I take it can put them back in.

At Matt said, all you need to do is move the steering to full lock. I have pretty much all the combinations of 1/4 3/8 and 1/2in sockets, spanners, ratchet spanners, and flexible ratchet spanners. I found that i used the a normal ratchet and and ratchet spanner most.
