Motion Offroad Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Drill holes in the rubber until most of it's gone. Than crush the metal sleeve with a hammer and push it out. Option 2 involves a torch, but stinks really bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I got some parts from a salvage store and made a press (threaded rod, long nuts, a plumbing reducer that the ID was big enough to press out the bushing, and assorted flat washers, all for about $5). It worked great and didn't stink and didn't need a BFH. It also didn't compress the bushing ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
