well i ended up getting the front ones on. it was pretty tuff, but it worked out in the end.
i used one of those sorta plier things, that u can adjust at the X member to determine how wide the jaws will open. but this one was bigger than ur average, so its prolly not the best solution...
with that i pinched down on the sway bar and the point where the bolt passes through. i finished assembling the top half of the set up and screwed the nut on, only about 2-3 spins. jus did it as much as i could whilst my mate held down hard on the grip thingies 
anyone planning on doing this themselves, save urself alot of time and make note of the order the bushes and washers go on if i had actually thought for more then .5 of a second i prolly woulda saved about 20mins ahahaha
for the front raduis rod bushes, u gotta snap the tension of the back nut by bout half a twist, then remove the front bolt.
u also have to remove the two small bolts that connect u to the ?hub?... remove the entire arm and grease and re assemble the bushes in the correct order!
try to put the rear bolt back to exactly where u unscrewed it from so not to throw ur allignment out by to much..
for the rears, as far as i can tell, i need to have them all pressed out, and then i can simply slip the new parts in...
im yet to do the rear but will get that undone tomorrow and redone monday...
i will get pics up for ppl to check out later on..
