Is there a 2g full poly bushing kit install page?

I have searched and searched. I am looking for some kind of a write up with some decent pictures for a 2g awd hyperflex poly bushing install. I am doing a full swap and would like to have the suspension finished before the motor so I can drop in asap. Any help or guidance is very appreciated!

But here's the gist of it:

For the bushing install:

- Burn out the old bushing. Use a decent propane torch. Heat the rubber to the point where you can push the inner metal sleeve out, then scrape the rest of the rubber out with an old screw driver.

-Use a reciprocating saw to cut the outer metal sleeve. A hacksaw would also work, but it's slow. Just get a cheap reciprocating saw.

-Use a cold forged chisel and hammer to punch the sleeve out of the piece.

-Clean it all up, lube the inside up with the poly lube, then press the bushings in. You can use a vice on some of them, but I bought a long high strength bolt, some big thick washers, and a nut. Then all I had to do was pull the bushing in through the control arm. A smack with a BFH pushed it the rest of the way through.

-Lube the inside of the bushing up, then press the inner metal sleeve in.

What he said. I like the prothane bushing kit better if that is an option for you. Easier to install and more complete kit.

Thanks to both of you guys, I actually was just handed the hyperflex kit for free, a buddy had it at his house and didn't want to install it. It didn't come with any directions or labels for which bushings go where, I know that's not too hard to find out but do you guys happen to have a picture of where some go? I am taking all the suspension parts off of one car, sandblasting/powdercoat then bushings so I don't think it will be too horrible once its all apart. I really need to make a blog about the build I guess, more people can use it for references later hopefully.
