On the spring I have tried using a bolt - socket that that bushing will
fit into - bushing - socket about the same size as the bushing then a
nut and tightening it. I didn't get anywhere. I don't have a socket
large enough for the differential bushing to slide into.
Any suggestions on how to get them out?==AM==
I haven't done a spring eye bushing, but I have done the diff. bushings.
Easiest (?) way seems to be to fire up the old propane torch to burn out the
rubber part. Then use a hacksaw or (carefully) a Sawz-All to cut through
most of the inside of that outer sleeve, after which you should be able to
hammer out the sleeve.
New ones will drive in rather more easily.
