thanks bumnah, but I've already figured out the removal. (after I attacked it with the dremmel the whole neighborhood smelled like burnouts) I used a chisel and a sharpened screwdriver [homemade mini-chisel] to remove most of the rubber and got the rest with the dremel
I was wondering more about the install. How did you get the new ones in?
Axle grease. Tons of it. I pushed the side with the writing on it in. It was easier if i put it on that side. Just grease up the sleeve and the bushings real good. and then just put your body weight into it. It popped in within 10 seconds.
I also just greased up the inner sleeve real good and pushed that in also. It said to take measurement of the inner sleeve according to the directions. I just remember to keep the oval hole on the outside, and I measured the end of the middle sleeve to the trailing arm and it was like 62 centimeters or something. And slide it in till it look right and took a measurement and I was pretty close. I'm just gonna have the guy who's doing the alignment fix it if it's off. Those directions weren't too clear so I didn't really sweat it too hard.
I just hope it bolts back up no problem.
I've got pix of the bushings and stuff
