Oh and you might need a breaker bar ... sometimes those nuts are on as tight as the nuns proverbial.

24mm, don't buy imperial its not the same size and if it is bloody tight you want the right size socket, and buy a single hex not a double they grip better.

15/16 is actually slightly smaller than 24mm of the top of my head 23.81mm so it actually better to use being that slight bit smaller.

24mm = .9448"
15/16 = .9375"

The difference is miniscule really!!! But I use the ring end of a ring / open combination spanner..

And give it a bit of a spray before if they've not been undone before.

Is it only the rear bushes you have to do, or the front ones as well? The front ones have to be pressed out and in!!
Tip, I do them one arm at a time. Take one out change the bushes then re-install it.
