Default Removing rubber mounts

I'm putting in the hyper flex kit to replace all my rubber bushings in my lca's, and suspension.

since i'm becoming more and more cheap.
i decided to try and remove the bushings on my own at home.

What I am using.

Drill
Jigsaw
Flat head screw driver, and whimpy hammer.

I drill the rubber over and over again till i get it nice and weak.

Then i take the metal sleeve inside the rubber, and twist it. and pull it out.

Once I have that out. I have to get the metal sleeve around the rubber.

I whip out my friend jigsaw. take the jigsaw, and cut through metal across. Then i whip out the screw driver, and hammer under neath the metal sleeve till I can start popping it up. Once I get that. I keep hammering underneaht the metal till I get the area where i cut across off. Then I'm simply start hammering around. Til tlhe metal comes out.

I just did my first one.

1 1/2 hours for one bushing... WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:madfawk:

Damn it why am i so damn cheap!
