^ Yep. Piece of cake once you see how easy it really is - once the factory glue gets hot it stops holding.

No, its actually not hot enough to burn the paint on the cradle. Front ones heated up pretty easy but the larger rear ones took a bit. Once you see the fiberglass casing start to boil out from around the bushing your getting there, start applying pressure to the bushing.

looks like from seeing the instructions from BMR to do the upper control arm bushing you need to drop the cradle 3"

Yeah, it's easier that way, just gives you a little more room to work with. I changed out mine without dropping the cradle at all. It wasn't exactly easy, but I did it!!!
