How to remove front A Arms bushings
I want to replace the front a arms bushings on my Iroc,but want to do it myself.What tool can I buy to do it?Anyone did their own.I dont want to bring it to someone because for the money Icould buy a tool and do it myself.Thanks
Use a torch to get them out- just burn up the rubber (outside of garage
).
Getting new ones back in is a whole nother deal. I've seen professionals fight getting new urethane bushings into arms for 3 hours on a press and ruin a few sets in the process- then again others go in fairly easily.

you can drill the rubber out and use ahammer , chisle and punch to get the rest out. i used a vise to press the new bushings in with a 2" pipe nipple. the ball joints need a hydraulic press tho.
