Re: Control Arm Bushing install..How to, as I do it... lol

Well this is being more of a pain in the ass than i was expecting. So far i got the 2 larger ones out, 1 came out with a hammer in like 4 swings, while the other i had to drill the rubber out and now i have to figure out how to get the remains off the walls... prolly going to torch them out. The smaller of the 2 bushings is proving out to be a real pain in the ass. I've tried a mallet and punch, but i just cannot get enough leverage without a vice, so i am hemmin and hawin on whether to go pay the 30 bucks i got quoted to have them punched out at Firestone and end the removal nightmare. Putting the new ones in will be a snap, I'm going to monkey around a little more first before giving in.
