HELP energy Supension bushings INSTALL!!!

[cnazzaro240]

the best way i found is to burn them out, then use a sawzall to cut a slit in the inner sleeve(carefully), then use an air-chisel to shoot them out, and to put the new ones in i just used the 130$ press from harbor freight. hope that helps

the best way is NOT to burn them out unless you want to weaken the integrity of your subframe. weather or not you need to remove the outer race on the bearing depends on if you have full replacement bushings (nismo) or not (ES).

What? Melting rubber does NOT have enough energy to weaken or distort your subframe. Hands down, the best way to remove them is with FIRE! Then use regular old man power to finish the job.
