Default LCA Bushing Won't Come Out...

The outer bolt on the left rear LCA snapped. The one next to the bottome of the strut assembly, that goes into the hub. I got the bolt out, but the bushing is stuck in there. Any ideas?

The bushing is stuck in where? You can't get the LCA out of the trailing arm because the bushing is preventing you from doing so? Or the bushing is stuck in the LCA? Bushings are pressed into the LCA. You either press them back out or burn them out and cut the metal ring with a hacksaw or sawzall or something.

LCA is dropped down already. Bushing is stuck in LCA. I have a torch. But that damn ABS sensor is right there. Makes me nervous. Am I going to have to take the LCA off and take it to a shop anyway to get the new bushing pressed in anyway? In that case I will just take it off now and save myself the trouble.

And by burn, you mean keep heating it until there's nothing but the outer ring left, and the sawzall it off?

Got it. Burned it out and pryed the metal ring out with a screw driver.
