removing bushings-idea....



I was reading this and want to warn you to be careful with presses, they 
are great but may bend the metal part you are working with, esp. trailing arms.

It sounds crude but if you have an old ( or neighbor's {grin} ) BBQ, fire 
up the charcoal and then insert the end that you want to remove the bush 
from. The intense heat combined with the surrounding effect makes very fast 
work of the rubber. It will "cook" out of the sleeve. Always have a fire 
extinguisher ready to be safe. Clean up, (rubber is sticky and only gets on 
things you want to keep). Remove sleeve if needed, re-install bushing of 
choice and re-assemble.
