i did 2 of subframes in a day. 1 using SPL the other using PBM bushings. both of them needed the sleeves cut out. took a saw zall to the inside of the sleeve and cut outward. cut toward the meaty part of the subframe rather than the thing outer edge. made 2 cuts and a simple hammer and chisel knocked them out.

PBMs just slid right in snug.

SPLs were a bit of work. i took a wire wheel and cleaned the subframe. lubed both sides of the bushing up with lithium grease, took a big ass bolt, some washers, and a nut, sandwhiched them together and buzzed them into the subframe with a hefty impact. worked like a beast.

I prefer the PBM tho. cheaper, easier installation, and raises the subframe to help with roll center. just my opinion though.
