Carina E failed MOT

[defcon1]

Hi All
I recently acquired a 1996 Carina E which has failed its MOT:
Steering Gaitors split
Rear Anti Roll Bar Bushes
I intend to do these jobs myself.
Any hints/tips to make job easier would be much appreciated.
Has anyone done these jobs?
Ive got the Haynes an a decent socket set
Thanks

Spray some penetrating fluid on the nuts a few hours before you start.

For the antiroll bar, jack up the car same height on each side rather than trying to do one side at a time. Unless of course you have a car lift.
