| Anyone have experience with the pressed in bushing?
I'm replacing the rear uppers & lowers.
I have the new bushings but dread trying to remove the original.
I've heard some leave the original in
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks | |

| Take them somewhere that has a large press. I have done some, and broke my small press doing it. Its not hard, just need the right tools. | |

| These are the ones pressed into the axle. No WAY I'm carting that around I'll burn them out before it leaves here  What I was wondering is if anyones kept the old without any problems. Doesnt seem like theres much deflection in the stock rubber, but under load I'm sure it moves. | |

| Ah well I can see what you mean.
I put my new arms on the old bushings. Still nice and tight! | |

| I've heard of people using a small blade sawz-all and running it through the bolt hole and just cutting a couple lines so that the bushing can basically just snap in half and be pulled out in 2 parts. That was a long sentence  | |

| Ya, mostly they just torch out the rubber center & punch the pressed in sleeve into the recess til it comes out.
I just didnt want to go thru that if it wasnt completely necessary.
Glen did what I was thinking & his is fine so I'm leaving the stock bushings in
Thanks | |
