Anyway on a short notice im leaving to ocean city for a big car show tommaro mid day, ya i wanna get some bushings in, Took out the panhard bar...ya and i cant get the freaking bushing to come out. Im pissed as hell its now getting dark out i got all kinds of **** to do to the car and i cant even see now. Got work at 7 too thats another +.

your gonna have to get a vice and some sockets and press them out.

a bench vice would be the best,but a c clamp might work if its big enough.

just get a huge socket on one side and a small socket on the other and start clamping down on it.

Your rear axle will have no lateral support and will move all over the place when cornering.
