Message	I'm in the middle of replacing them myself and what a major PITA! I first burned out the inner sleeve that attaches to the chassis. Then I used a hacksaw to cut the bushing in half. I'm in the middle of using a chisel, and hammering out the remaining layers of bushing, trying to make it fold in on itself at the cut I made. My shirt was soaked like I had just hopped out of the pool...and I still don't have it all the way out! I'm down to the last layer, and its almost like its welded to the subframe. I just wanted to give props to anyone who has done this job before...because it sucks! Thank God for beer! Jack H '92 n/a
