Slick way to remove control arm bushings

This is demonstrated on an OT car, but should work just as well on any rubber bushings. Check it out!

very cool. I have done a similar technique by drilling out the rubber, but I like the way he let the drill walk around the bushing and just work it out. I'll have to try that!
Thanks for the good info!

 

Looks easy! thanks

 

Ingeniously simple.

 

SWEET! I coulda used that a few years ago!

 

Been doing mechanic work for many years and didn't know that trick...

 

same here..usually resort to a method involving fire

 

Man, that was slick. Thanks for posting this one up!

 

Damn! That's a new one to me. I have always used the hole-saw method.

 

that was sweet

 

Nice trick!
Makes me wish I needed to do some.

 

That's way better than burning the rubber out. Faster and smoke free. I guess everything is going GREEN.

 

Keep it simple, definitely the way to go -- thanks!

 

Thank's for sharring.

 

Looks like that guy has several of these tech vids.

 

Or an air chisel and a box of bandaids.

Thats slick! Gotta try that on my next bushing job

 

Slick as goat snot!! can't wait to try it

 

I knew there had to be an easier way. Great tech...thanks!

 

dang, I learnd something new again today.Dont know how much more my brain can take..... gota love the hamb

 

Amen to that. I never had to change many on the rear end but they were always a pain in the **** just trying to drive them out.

 

Cool! thanks for sharing.

 

If ya think about it, that should work on front A arm bushings, or any other kinda bushings you have to deal with.

 

What a great day on the HAMB! I am only on the first page and have already enjoed the 54 Chevy story, Merc 4 door chop and this great tech piece it's going to be a great morning for me.

 

thank you!!!

 

Wowser! Thank you!

 

I have been doing it that way quite a while. When I suggest it on a thread people tell me it won't work. I don't argue let 'em do it the hard way.

Anyway so much for me. Good video, glad to see someone demonstrate it.

 

My comment: "I'll be dipped in ****!" about covers it.

Very cool, showed it to all our mechanics! Thanks.
