You just unbolt both ends of the bar, remove it, and push the old bush out and replace with the poly one.

the ones you have in the pic, are they split so the go either side of the joining bar? Do the rubber bushes need to be cut off as they look to be a sealed around the bar?

The ones in the pic are split yes, so half pushes in from each side, the big bush isn't sealed to the bar afiak, I changed one on a 180 which uses the same set up and the bush pushed out really easily.

I see what you mean it does look as if it's bonded to the bar, but it isn't.

The orange bush has been rounded to improve it's performance, if you leave them squared off they transmit more noise and vibration, the bar you've linked to on ebay won't fit a diesel unfortunately.
