swaped the struts and they came with new poly bushings and the old ones didn't want to leave.

break out the air hammer at 100 psi and make more noise than the little yapper over a block that won't stop barking for 2 hrs since i got home.

If you use a torch and heat them they come right off.

Strut bushings? You mean A-Arm bushings, right?

Bushings at the top by the gas tank? You mean on the strut tower?

Odd, I have never hand an issue getting the uppers off.
Good thing you had an air chisel.

so now i checked on the bird to see if there any tech articles on r/r these and see that in the paerts sec there is instruction on how to "cut" the bushing out.

i used the chisel to cut the sleave and then beat the efer down thru the bottom headbang.gif hissyfit.gif
