You will need to remove the driveshaft to get the hub off, not easy unless you have access to an air chisel or similar to push the shaft through the hub. Also the top bush bolts are eccentric and adjust the suspension geometry, they need to be marked before removing and once new bushes fitted it is recommended to have the geometry checked.

Thanks for the info 47p2 I have an electric impact gun which should get the hub nut off. How can you do the job in-situ when nobody seems to make an extractor? |

There are several posts on the forum about removing the bushes with a home made extractor, use search to find them. I 'think' mattstevenson2005 did a write up on making an appropriate tool from tubing and threaded rods.

I have the axle stands & all the gear just no experience with this car, I'm an ex mechanic. Love this car but it's bankrupting me Did the front passenger side air bag last weekend & had it MOT'd yesterday & it failed on the hub bushes Just to confirm both the top and bottom bushes can be removed & are part of the hub assembly?

As an ex mechanic you should manage it in situ no problem then.
