OK i know this is pretty straight forward deal, but i had the hardest time ever removing those metal sleeves that are on the subframe because they were rusted to the frame, so now i damamged the rim of the subframe and the new aluminum bushings are not going in. So, what are my options? i was thinking to fix the rim as much as i can and than take a torch to it, spray some lube on it and hammer the crap out of the bushing to get it in there? Let me know what i can do to solve this problem.
