If you have a press you might be able to do it quicker that way.

I've ordered a master set of Energy Suspension bushings for my '87 and the set should arrive on Friday --- I'm going to do my bushings next week on it so if someone has a better idea (as I can't light them on fire in my backyard in the city) please let us both know!

Thanks!!

I now recant my last post after spending 2 hours just getting one bushing apart....I am going to take all of my parts with bushings that need to be replaced and tonite I'm going to soak them in deisel fuel and tomorrow light them on fire at my dad's farm to burn them out. I'm tired of wasting time on chicken sh!t stuff like this!!
