If I recall correctly (big "if"), I stuck my A-arm in the vise, heated the outer part evenly with a Mapp torch "just" enough to make it release it's deathgrip on the rubber bushing, and slit what was left of the bushing down the middle and peeled it off. Stinky job, open the garage doors during the process or your wife will kick your ass! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/spank.gif)
