Its going to be hard doing it your self, i took mine to a machine shop it was like 30$ a side..

And if u do get them out when you put the new ones in you got to make sure u put them in straight becuase if you dont they will make alot of noise..

Just want to let you no.!

Can you get the Front Compliance Bushing from Energy as well? I'm assuming a press fit is all it needs, no bonding agent between the bushing and the fork.
