Job done !

UK passenger side was easier than the driver side for some reason.

Once the three bolts are out give them all a clean up and run them in and out of the threads a few times to clean away any dirt which will help when they go back in for the final time.
As Spiralarms suggested it takes some leverage to get the arm to twist so the bushing can slide off the end of the arm. I would suggest to whoever does it next is to have the new bushing within arms reach so while you have the arm levered away from the chassis and you slide the old one off you also slide the new one straight on.

Everything was via eBay; I got the bushings from Poland for £64 (pair) (although they are actually Swedish) and the drop links from a UK supplier for £15 (pair).

As part of my refitting I also replaced the drop links as they were looking a bit worse for wear.

I used some blue thread lock on my bolts.

A road test after the event resulting in no knocking noise has proved the bushings were the guilty part.
