Here's a stupid question: r53 Lower powerflex bushing
So... I have the inserts (black ones) for the lower mount, the large side is simple - but the the small side - how did you guys get the Oem bushing out?
Any help is greatly appreciated. |
If your talking about the lower control arm bushings, they are a pain. Can use the specialized tool or a press, outside of those two options i dont know how.

The small side is already solid rubber, there isn't much give at all to it, but if you want to replace it; I've always used a MAP gas torch and melted the old bushing out (be careful the mount is aluminum), let it cool and press the new bushing in.
