I did this recently myself when I installed poly bushings all round at
the front. It was an incredibly simple job, you shouldn't have any
problems. Just undo the u bolts, take take off the old bushings, put the
new ones on and retighten the u bolts over the new bushings.
Access to the bolts is no problem either with the front jacked up.
