First off, the rear sub frame and diff needs to be
removed from the car. Refer to the factory service manual on how
to do that, or look up various corners of the interwebs, forums,
and or Google. Once out, continue to the next step.
|
|
Now the old bushing material needs to come out. Get is
out by all means necessary without damaging the sub frame too
much. You can drill, press, burn, chew, laser beam them out.
Just get them out. Its already dead and falling apart, it
shouldn't me too hard :) |
|
Now you have to remove the metal housing for the
bushing that is pressed into the subframe. This can be done by
taking a Sawzall, or for the people out there with enduring
arms, small hacksaw and cut the ring to allow it to compress and
bit and come out. |
|
|
Now take a hammer and go to town. It should come out. If
not, keep going till it either A-Comes out, or B-Your arm falls
off. In the end, you'll have these. |
|
|
Now STOP!!, hammer time!... If you spend more time making
sure they go in perfectly strait, with small little taps to get
it in strait, use a little lube, it should go in pretty easy.
Use something between the hammer and bushing, like a piece of
2X4 or block of aluminum, something so you won't mar the
bushing. |
|
|
Keep going till they are down and flush in the sub frame.
Here are pics of one fully seated. |

And the final product. |
