its pretty simple,i hav'nt done 240's but all you need is a rubber mallet and a canister that sprays oil (basicly wd40) for making some bushings slide in place without beating the hell out of them to get them in place.

use a press if you can that way you can push the old ones out and the new ones in without beeting them to death.

some or a lot of bushings for suspension parts arent press fit. you need to find a hydraulic press to remove and press in the new bushings.
