Does anyone have a tip for removing the bushing at the ends of the rear springs? I applied a lot of pressure but no go. I can see that the bushings are deformed by the spring surround.
 
Hi Stretch Here is how I o it: I take a deep socket just a might larger in diameter than the bush. Using a suitable receptor I drive the socket into the spring eye. After it penetrates about half way the bush will fallout. Do not remove the socket install the new bush and using a suitable driver drive the new bush in and the socket out. When I am not at home I use a 20 ton hydraulic press,--Keoke
 
Thanks, I used a 7/16 through bolt/nut and pressed the bushing out by wrenching down on the nut with a 11/16 socket on one end and a large receiving socket on the other. Worked like a charm.
