aight, the bushing u are talkin about..

the black rubber one that goes inbetween the mounting plate and the washer???

im not too sure, so if u get Fd up its not on me..
if you attempt to do this with the car on the ground (load on the spring/strut), i wud think u cud just undo the top bolt and flip the bushing over....but life prolly isnt that easy (clearance/bolt flyin up and smakin u in the face)...but im thinkin if u didnt mess w/the two mounting plate bolts/nuts, the spring/strut assembly wudnt move, and you'd be able to do it...

its all about clearance, and the load on the spring/strut...

this is an idea mmmmkay emoji let someone else who knows a lil more post, and see what they have to say too..

good luck tho, my suspension squeaks, but with nuthin in the trunk except for that board, and a box O' 10z, i hear a lotta strange shiot..

VTEC powa

edit: if ^^ dont werk, or is a dum idea, just yank the whole assembly on that corner emoji corbin has a great writeup w/the assembly order w/pix and torque spex, and www.vfaq.com has a decent one on coilover installation....
