Hey all, i just got my energy suspension trailing arm bushings, but i dont have access to a remover, nor do i wish to order one for $115. Does anyone know if its possible to construct a makeshift remover or inserter? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

 

are you talking about removing the inner bushing?? if so get a recp. saw and cut it out and get new bushings pressed in

 

Can you just use a torch on these? I was thinking of ordering the same ones. On other cars i've used either propane or acetylene and just burned the little bastards out. Clean the metal with sand paper and you're good to go. Anything i should be aware of here before i go pyro?

 

You can burn the rubber out of the bushings with a torch (propane or MAPP gas will work) and then split the outer sleeve with a hack saw assembled through the hole. Score it in two placed and tap the sleeve out of the arm.
