has it been this much of a pain in the ass for everyone else to do?
first they wouldn't come out, so I torched the rubber and pulled them into two pieces (inner tube stuck in car, outer in subframe)
then after doing everything possible I could think of to pull the center part out, I hit the side with a mallot and it broke off inside the car, both sides. I had to grind out the part that broke inside the car.
after that was done, the outer part didn't want to separate from the subframe, although I got it fairly easily after torching the outside to melt the rubber and then levering to pull it out.
if anyone has to replace theirs, I highly suggest doing urethane bushings, not only are they an upgrade, but they are easy as cake to install. and they're green. sweet
I'd like to hear other experiences and solutions if you have any
