Message I will never do that again. lol, actually, once I got the hang of removing them it went quickly. I didn't use any fire, just hacksaw, cold chisel and the rod & pipe method.
By the time I got to the 4th bushing I was able to get it out in about 20min.
Now I just have to install the differential bushings. I decided it was better done with the frame bolted back into the car. If I were to guess, that frame weighs 2~300 lbs and it's not to easy to move around. We'll see, If it's too high and I feel like I might have a 100lb differential land in my face I may pull it back out and set it on a pair of jackstands and work on it that way. In fact that might be the way to go, but I already put the sucker back in so I'm trying it that way 1st.
Oh well, enough babble, I need a BEER!
