Re: [Chevelle-list] Rear control arms!

Pelle I drilled the rubber out of the center in several places.    Once it was loose I pushed the rubber & center out of the bushing housing.  Then collapsed the outer housing with a hammer & chisel.   Borrowed tool from AutoZone to reinstall.  How far is it to your nearest AutoZone   :D ?

Hi!

 

Is it possible to change the rear control arms bushings with just a set of ordinary "hand tools" and a vice?

 

Or do I need an industrial press to get the bushings in/out?

 

Best regards
Pelle
