I'd just use a hole saw on the differential bushings. Looks like the easiest way to get them out.

Sorry I forgot to take pictures, but this what I used to get mine out:
All of this is from Lowe's Hardware Department 6" Full Threaded Bolt - Thread Size 3/8-16 (buy 2 in case the threads get chewed up.) Grade 8 Nuts - 3/8-16 (buy 4 or 5) Grade 8 Washers - 3/8 (buy enough to be able to push the bushing out. Around 10 should be good.) 1 7/8" Hole Saw - (like in PQ's video. I got one made for metal so the teeth dug in to keep it from turning. Just left a few minor scratches) 9/16 Wrench and 9/16 Socket or Ratcheting Wrench to turn/hold the bolt/nut.

I used a a three prong puller from autozone which you can convert to a two prong. Was pretty easy after I went and got that.

I rented the same type of puller from Autozone. Got halfway through one of the bushings, got impatient, and decided to use an impact gun to speed up the process... Let's just say those made-in-China threads didn't hold up too well. Sheared them all off then the bolt popped loose! That's a $30 deposit I'll never get back...

That is funny you say that, my son looked at me and said why don't you use the impact thingy. I said because this tool is cheap,and made in china
Glad I made one smart decision for once. Quote:

Why so many washers needed? Would a 2" hole saw work? And how deep is the bushings? Haven't looked under the car yet and trying to get all parts in order while I'm at work. Got some 3/8 ready rod cut at 6", 8", 10", 12", lengths with 3 different siZe pipe nipples, handful of washers/nuts. Only thing I can't get here is a 1 7/8 hole saw.

I did it with a 2" hole saw and it worked fine. I just got home from the shop doing these and subframe bushings.

How did you do the subframe bushings? Were they easy? Use a puller setup too?

They weren't as bad as some people say but I learned enough reading C5. I had access to a lift which made it easier also. Basically you use a sawzall to cut out the core, then cut two slits to the subframe and pry the sleeve out with an air chisel.
