i just bought a tub of axle grease and made a huge mess.

I did some of my bushings manually, and some of them I took to get pressed. Doing it yourself is a big PITA, but honestly, it beats paying somebody else to do it. If you have the time, DIY. A press is really helpful in getting the OEM ones out, but its not needed to install the ES ones. I personally used a dremmel, torch, chisel, hacksaw to get mine out. Ahhh.... the smell of burning rubber :loco:
