Takes no more then 5 mins with the tool to remove the bushings with or without the subframe removed...I don't like wasting time on shit if I dont need to...and if you're going to replace the rtab you still dont need to remove the subframe. ..its stupid and unnecessary to remove the diff for this job unless your changing out the bushing for it. -
I rented the tool from someone on r3v to do mine. It took me one hour start to finish to do both sides. People talk about this job like it is a nightmare, but a lot of people don't use the tool and create a lot of work for themselves in the process.
Question: could you slice up a full pizza without a pizza roller? Yes. Would it be a lot easier with a pizza roller, of course. RSFB replacement can follow the same logic.Leave a comment:

If you intend to do more (like the trailing arm bushings), it makes more sense to pull the subframe.Leave a comment:

Lies doesnt take all day this takes an hr tops with the tool....there isnt a need to remove the subframe unless your welding in camber caster plates etcLeave a comment:

The hardest part is actually getting the subframe separated from the chassis.
$800 is not a bad quote for that kind of work, it does take all day.Leave a comment:

Sometimes this works. This is what I did. Didn't exactly come right out. Ended up getting a steel chisel and split it in half.Leave a comment:

Heat the subframe instead. Once you melt the rubber on the outside of the bushing's metal ring, it'll slide right out. And with FAR less nauseating black smoke.Leave a comment:

I just removed my rear subframe & took it to a suspension shop. $50 later, they pressed out the old bushes and put in the new ones.
