Front anti roll bar bushes

Car details:- 8th gen Tourer 2.2iDtec.

Has anyone replaced the front anti roll-bar bushes if so how easy? as some videos mention dropping the sub-frame slightly, others say the bolts can be got at from above. Any advise please.

When i owned my insignia the bolt nearest the firewall on the clamp for the bush wasn't accessible without lowering subframe slightly. I'm sure there is more room on the accord idtec so possibly it is accessible from the top.
You'll just need to try and see if you can use a combination of socket extensions and maybe an elbow attachment also.
I tried this on the insignia and it was impossible.

Did this on mine recently but on the ramp, very easy to be honest. Couple of bolts holding in the bush bracket, remove and swap out that’s it.

So it's easy to get a spanner/socket in there to remove said bolts?
