Only took a couple hours with basic garage tools, BFH, prybar, butane torch, chisels.

Torch the bushing and pound out the center, pry out the rubber, chisel out the sleeve.

The Torch is useless.

Take a C clamp and tear the center out.

Use a saw to cut two notches in the top of the bushing case center.

Pry the notched lip up.

Hammer a screwdriver / punch in between the casing and the subframe.

once it goes all the way through it will just fall out.

I spent like 2 days trying to do it with the torch and cutting the bushing shell out. I spend 20 minutes doing the other three my way.
