most of the bushings will need to be pushed in. An el cheapo press from supacheap will do it

bushes were $260 from eBay .
yeah they will need to be pressed out as said above . pedders wanted $150 to do it lol a 6 t press from super cheap is $170. going to try pushing them out with a vice or make up a jig . if that fails I'll go to a mechanic and get him to press them out

Yea I was browsing on google and a few people said they had burnt them out . Others had driilled holes and used a hack saw to cut them in half .
I'm going to spray them with Wd40 then use a big bolt I have to punch them out , if that fails I'll put a few cuts in them I think they have a metal outer ring which needs to be cut. Just have to be careful not tow cut the arm
