Before & After

Start by tearing out as much of the bushing by hand/pliers. With the age of our cars it shouldn't be too hard to tear a large portion out.

Burn the rest of it out.

Clean up with a file, or if you have a small wire wheel, this works fantastic.

At this point you can go ahead and press the new bushings in. A c-clamp works great. If you try hard enough you can get it by hand.

I went ahead and sandblasted and powder coated them.
