Pull the bushing "caps" and save
them, you will need to reuse these.
Large pliers work great for this.
See fig.10

It is easy to take the front control
arm bushings out. In a safe place
warm the outer shell with a torch.
This will allow the rubber bushing
to "un-fuse" from the metal shell.
The rubber also swells, forcing it
out of the shell.
CAUTION
The bushing may pop out with
force, aim it in a safe direction!
See fig.11

The a-arm with the bushing
removed. TIP: While heating
the shell try not to catch the
rubber bushing on fire as it
makes a mess and smells
pretty bad. If it does catch on
fire, stop, blow it out and
continue slowly.
See fig.12

After the bushing is
removed and cooled you
will need to remove the
sleeve as it will need to be
reused.
Cutting the rubber helps
remove it from the sleeve.
See fig.13

Once the rubber bushing
is cut, it should pull away
from the sleeve.
See fig.14

With the bushings removed and the
a-arms cleaned, it's time to reassemble.
The front control a-arm bushing will
push right into place. Very little lube is
needed between the bushing and the shell.
See fig.15

TIP:
The part of the bushing that these fingers
are touching is on the inside of the a-arm.
It is on the flanged part of the shell.

After you have cleaned up the sleeve,
lube the sleeve with the green poly lube
that was supplied. This will keep the
polyurethane bushings very happy so
that they will not be noisy!
After the sleeve is lubed, press it into
the control arm bushing.
See fig.16

This shows a tip on how to
press the sleeve in the easy
way.
