| Can anyone recommend an easy way to remove the rear lower spindle bushings? The uppers are a "PIECE O CAKE" (lol Mason!) but the lowers were a pain. I thought someone here might know a trick. | |

| Uppers you can use a flat-tip and hammer and force them out. Lowers don't want to budge, so I used a small and large pair of vice-grips and worked them back and forth. I also had to pry on the lowers with a long flat-tip. 4-1 time ratio lowers-uppers....at least for me. | |
