Re: Lower Control Arm Bump Stops
Try a good dose of dish soap and a flat bladed screw driver to push it through.

Re: Lower Control Arm Bump Stops
Ruined one using lubricant and Flat blade screw driver. Use the lube, but find a c-clamp that will reach the bump stop and use it like a press. It was a snap doing it this way. Minutes as opposed to fighting that thing for a half hour or more with a screw driver and them having to throw it away and starting over with a new bump stop.

Re: Lower Control Arm Bump Stops
I sprayed mine with silicone and then proceeded to beat them into submission with a rubber mallet. I like some of the other methods presented above better.
