Nothing in the Haynes manual on how to change these (they sit in the front of the block) but their Uno manual looks a bit more helpful under the 1372cc supplementary section.
It mentions that if the bushes look oval or appear pitted etc then you should entrust the fitting of new ones to your dealer as they might need to be reamed to suit.
Is this correct and to anyone who has changed them, also what symptoms were you getting that made you swap yours and how easy was it to get the old ones out? Looks a pig........is it sump off and oil pump out before you can remove the shaft?
