The bushes aren't in the arm itself, but in the mount brackets, if you haven't got cam\cas kits in already, nows the time to do it.

and can be removed from your ea and fitted to your ed.. |

As above, the bushes are in the upper control arm mounts, aka 'camber kits' as they end up being called.

all you need to do is undo the 2 top bolts that go throught the upper control arm pull the arm out towards you and you will see the mounting brackets with the bushes in them.
then on the otherside of the inner guard(in the engine bay)there are 4 nuts that you undo (2 on each bracket) and the mounting brackets can be removed.. |

Whoa. Calm down! No one was really abusing you, from what I read.
That sucks about your tools. I'd say ask the nearest mechanic how much he'd do it for. Make sure you tell them if it's too much, you'll just scrap the car and not bother. Do you need this job to be done in order to renew your rego? If not, why not just renew it, buy more tools later and do it then. You're gonna need new tools sooner or later anyway.
