Really not a bad job at all. Sawzall worked great! It takes less than ten minutes a bushing, just have to be patient and aware so you are not accidentally cutting into the subframe. Make sure the blade is extra course and long enough to reach through the entire bushing length. You may be able to get away with just one cut and a really big hammer.
