This was the best tutorial I could find on KZread. It helped my job to go easier than I thought it would. I found that a 1 1/2" galvanized pipe cap (about $7 at Home Depot) fits over the bushings perfectly and give you something solid to hammer on. That combined with putting the bushings and the freezer for an hour or so allowed me to get each of them completely seated in about 30 seconds. I cut the rubber out of the old bushings. It seemed like that made the metal part of the bushing easier to remove.

At the time, I did it with a 1/2 inch ratchet but would recommend an impact gun. It pressed in and out flawlessly albeit exhaustingly slow with the tools I had available at the time.

I did a set today. From the rear of the bushing once rubber removed I took a fairly Long chisel and caved in one edge of the bushing then once there was enough material folded inward I just set the chisel on that ledge of material and drive out the bushing very quickly. I did spray some PB blaster before hand. Going back in with the bushing I was able to use a ball joint press cup adapter that perfectly fit around the rubber of the bushing and into the ledge of the cup ….took about 20 seconds to pound the bushing in. I also did the radius arm bushings, new coil springs and shocks. The hardest part of the job was tightening the top nut on the new drivers side shock…..very limited space. I used the original nut and washer from the original shock and held that top nut with a 15mm flex head ratcheting wrench. I turned the shock with a 16mm open end wrench but had to grind the wrench thin on my bench grinder to be able to fit on the embossed hex nut on top of the upper shock dome.

Hi. It all makes sense with one exception. Compared to my E-350, I'm wondering how you got any space to work on the _back_ _side_ of the main (round) sway bar bushings? I plan to use a ball joint press, but when I looked on the back side, some other structural component is so close to the bushing that I don't even think I can get the press in the crack. No way I could hammer it out because I couldn't even hit it. Did you remove something else from the back side to give you room to work before taking out the bushing?
