Lower control arm bushings

[napatiger]

Any advice on removing these?

I tried a hydrolic jack and it POPed the smaller one out.
But the bigger one is a Bitch, feels like I am bending the control arm.

Here is a Tip for replacing the ball joint....
You don't have to drill the whole rivet, just go in about a 1/4 inch then use a chizel and hammer to romove the heads..

Burn them out. Thats the way alot of people do it. Thats the way I did it on my buddies Cavalier.

[napatiger]

so what you are saying is just burn the black rubber stuff with a torch?

[geoffinbc]

Yup

Yes, and it stinks horribly too. If you are putting new ones in, you can use an air hammer on the sides to beat them up and then pry them out. If you go with the RSM bushings, you gotta keep the sleeve cause they don't provide it "because no one else sells poly bushings with the sleeves". heh...idiots.
