ok im installing new leaf spring bushings and i finally got all the old ones out. i just read the install instructions for the new ones and they said to remove the old outter shell. how the hell are you suppose to do that. just trying to get the bushings out made me want to bounce my head off the wall. do you really need to remove the shell?

 

yes u need to remove the shell. use a big hammer, mine came out in one piece

 

idk how im gonna be able to hit that. i already have the bushing out so all thats left is the shell

 

Can't be much different than control arm bushings. Use an air hammer

 

pics?

 

Will probably need some heat. Torch would work. Or something of the sort. Hammer is a must. PB blaster would help too.
