Step 1
we start by taking the lower control arm and mark 15mm in from the lower part of the bush housing - do this at both ends

use a thin cutoff wheel in the grinder to cut the bush ends off, i sat it loosly in the top of the vice and rotated the arm while holding the grinder still which gave me a nice square edge
then you'll be left with this

Step 2
use a sharp blade to cut whats left of the rubber off the existing engine mounts as we need the plate that bolts to the chassis, i used a sharp kitchen knife but i thing a decent stanly knife is the go, you can throw away the top parts of the mount as the bottom plate is all we need

cut the top and bottom off level and clean any remaining rubber off the base plates, i used one of these paint stripping disc's which work well but fly apart fairly quickly
