My question is more specific to the DSE One piece solid bushings and someone that has installed them before. They press in. So my question about the cradle having to come completely off (as opposed to just lowering one side at a time and sllipping in the 2-piece bushings)


Hope it goes well

I installed the BMR pro kit a couple of weeks ago. I thought removing the old bushings was a lot easier than getting the new bushings installed. I tried to press the new bushings in by drawing up the bolts, but they wouldn't stay square to the boss. I had to drop the subframe onto the floor and fashion up a bit of a press from a long bolt and some big washers. I got the bushing started (with lots of grease) then used a BFH and a block of wood to pound them in the rest of the way. It was not a lot of fun.

Oh man, that doesn't sound like fun at all! To think mine just went right in as I tightened my bolts. Damn. Well they are in at least huh? Isn't that a delrin bushing with their kit?
