I overhauled my rear suspension-changed all bushings, bolts, etc and I had to use my acetylene torch to cut out 3 bolts that I broke and one of the bushings which was held in place by a broken bolt, then heated all the bushings to press them out, basically you need a torch-propane will work but acetylene is way better... heat everything before you try to remove the bolts and bushings or the bolts will break and they're a real pain to drill out. the old bushings will also be very seized so you need a hydraulic press and lots of wd40 to remove them and insert new ones into the control arms. it would be tough to do it with a hammer (swinging press hehe) but it could probably be done... basically suspension work is a pain in the ass...
