How do you remove the old upper radiator bushings to replace with new ones?

Thanks

Take a look at this diagram. You will see there are two bolts that hold them in. You just need to remove those and they should lift off.

Let us know if you have other questions. Thanks

It looks like a hard plastic screw that holds that bushing in?

Now that you say that, I think they are. I am going from memory but if you get a picture we can confirm it for you.

Sorry if I didn't respond quick enough to the other post. Thanks for the picture. That should just be a socket. If I remember it is an 18 mm but I could be wrong. You just put the socket in the opening that you are showing and then move it around until it seats on the bolt. That rubber should move around until it allows it on the bolt.
