Long story short, I removed the ARB clamp brackets entirely when replacing the bushes in order to paint them and now I'm wishing I hadn't bothered.

I've tried for quite a while to get the brackets hooked into the subframe and I'm simply not able to due to lack of space/new bushes pushing outwards etc.

I've the option of trying again but this time with borrowed lever/pry bars and trying to lever them into place, or from searching around on here a few members have simply undone the rear subframe bolts, loosened the front ones and dropped the rear of the subframe a bit for more access.

Any tips or opinions on what the best method would be to get the brackets hooked in? I can get them in fine when there's no bush in there but the bush is too obstructive and large essentially. I'll also try greasing it up as well.

Sorry if I read this wrong but it should be easy to hook them in, the hard part is getting the clamp down far enough to get the bolt started. But even that is relatively straight forward with the right pry bar. Never had to touch the subframe.

You are hooking them in before bolting down yeah?
