hey guys,
I'm replacing the lower control arm bushings on my 64 C10, and they're real buggers. The packaging with the new bushings says for best results, torch old bushings out. I have no torch and my buddies are tight with their acetylene. That being said, does anyone have a method of extraction that is not torching? I'd really preciate it.

Propane will burn the rubber out, or you can drill the rubber in several places to knock the center out. With a hacksaw blade, chisel, or cutoff wheel carefully split the outer steel shell without cutting into the arm. Curl the shell inward to free it from the arm.

Or take it and the new bushings to a machine shop and let them R&R them for you.
