USE SPECIALIST TOOLS? My ford fiest anti roll bar bushing clamps have snaped. The haynes manual says I need to drop the subframe, disconnect gearbox linkage and steering etc. A major job just to replace 2 clamps over a bit of rubber. On top of this it states I need to use specialist tools to then put back together.

My question- is ther a short cut to avoid dropping the subframe and all that goes with it and do I really need the specialist tool to realign the subframe?
 
The correct way to do it is to drop the sub frame. However in the real world all you need to do is fit a bottle jack between the anti roll bar and the sub frame. Loosen the clamp and jack the anti roll bar down enough to get the rubber bush out.
Ja.
