Step 5.  Remove the rear seat cushion from the car.  There are two mounting tabs at the front edge of the seat.  Press them in and lift the seat cushion out.

 

Step 6.  Locate the 21mm nut in the center of the car along the drive shaft tunnel.  It is located just in front of the seat back along the flat portion of the tunnel.

 

Step 7.  Loosen the bolt with your 21mm socket.  It is not necessary to remove it, only loosen.

Step 9.  Inspect your new parts and grease the bushings with the supplied lube.  It is easiest to assemble the 3 piece bushing into the arm, and then install the metal sleeve into the bushing.  This will prevent air pockets from forming inside the bushing.  Air pockets in the bushing will push the outer bushings out of the arm and make it difficult to install into the car.  With no air in the bushing, the bushing will fit tight to the arm.
