Good job best video on here showing how you dont need to take the whole axel off.
Top tip freeze the bush overnight will slide straight in.
I'd try and manufacture the tool for pressing the bearing, thanks for the video very helpful 👍

Interesting video, channel name is accurate. £170 for a tool that will be used once for a single job is a bit steep !.
Drill and burn the old ones out and fit some 70* shore polybushes or 90* for a performance over comfort application.
70* is the same density as rubber, pressed in by hand and will outlast the vehicle.
Seriously tho a garage charges less to do the whole job than that tool costs 😅.

Depends on how often you might use the tool, Buy the tool on eBay sell on eBay it will only cost eBay commission

Hi! First of all thank you so muvh for your videos they always help me so much! I have a question... I followed your video on how to shut the roof manually and since then the boot is locked and there is a constant beeping when the car goes over 30 (km/h) i have a diagnostic port but could you let me know what i have to do to reset the electronics? And how to restore pressure to the hydraulic system. Thank you so much!!!!!!

First you don’t need to reset electronics if the sensor tell the car all is good then it will work
Second it is beeping as sensor are telling you something is still wrong
So let address the faults,
if you tighten the hex bolt that you loosened on the roof to move it then it should re-pressurise if all is ok with that,
the likely issue is that a sensor is showing that the roof isn’t in fully closed position the main culprit is usually a frame roof lock both sides not fully engaged, roof rams in c pillar area both are not fully up or boot lock tines not fully rotated, if all of those are ok check wires for breaks with continuity. To open the boot remove a fuse in fuse box under the bonnet I think from memory it is f14 this is in my comments under the roof video or boot video open boot and replace the fuse before driving as it controls other circuits as well
