buy new end links while you are at it.
chances are good you will break an end or 2 or 3 or 4 while you are getting the old ones off.
use lots of penitrating oil on the endlinks. and you may not break them, but i broke 2 while doing mine even with the lube.
also, it is probably a good idea to have an extra set of hands there to help hold the bar in position while you bolt it up, the front bar on mine was a real PITA to get positioned right, it took alot of "pushing" to get it in the right place.
other than that it is pretty straight forward.

i broke the endlinks trying to unbolt it, it gets rust locked on.
you may not break one, but it won't hurt to replace them anyway, and that way if you do break one you have the parts there to fix it.

You can e-mail Lon at topdownsolutions@yahoo.com, and I'm sure he'll provide you with whatever info you require. The ES bushings I purchased from JEG's. Part # 03559-5160.
