Anyone find an easy way to remove the old bushing's washers to place the inserts in. My washers don't want to come off of the bushing easy and trying not to mess things up. Never hurts to ask someone else I figure.

Takes a little persuading!

Air chisel pops them right off.

Two hammers do the trick

Thanks for the replies, I knew this forum would help me out.

I found the 2 hammer trick to work easy for me. About 3 good blows of the hammer and they come flying off. Just keep an eye out for where they go.

I have done the two hammer method and I have also popped them off using a couple of pry bars. Either method works just fine but it will take a little work to get them off.

Caveman it's funny you should say that about watching were they go. I lost one and it took awile to find it. One of mine went flying off and ended up in the car lift post. Lucky we found it before we tried to lower the car.

A little heat from a tourch can also help. (just a little)
