Front Leaf Top Rear Shackle Bushing Removal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I’m needing some help removing the bushings that are in the lower brackets of the cross member. This is the front leaf spring rear shackle top bushing that goes through the frame. The bracket is so close on one side and is in line with the bushing so I can’t use the press. It seems to be too close to rig up a pull set up.

Did you resolve this? If not, a ball joint installer remover probably will take it out using a correct socket punch pushing it to the inside. You may have to push out the steel bushing first.
