Subframe bushing removel

[projectRDM]

No one is going to die a toxic death unless they stand over it and breath while it burns. You torch it, walk away and eat lunch, come back after the fire has gone out. If that worries you, stand a good distance and watch, but it's not like the fire will continue and melt the subframe. It's steel. Have to be a little hotter to do any damage. Once the bushing falls out on it's own you throw a hose on it, done.

I had to stand over all 4 because the fire kept going out. I had to use a screw driver and churn the rubber so the flame could be exposed to new rubber.

Thought I was going to die the next day, my sinus's were caked with rubber and everytime I blew my nose it would be pure black goo.

Man and to think im going to have to do that again when i get another S14. Worth it though!

Fire wasn't hot enough. Use some gas to get it going. It will take care of itself.
