After burning out the rubber and inner metal tube thing, are you supposed to remove the outer metal sleeve? This is on like the toe arms and RUCA and stuff.

once you burn the inner its easy to get the sleeve out.. get a nice hammer and a sharp rather big flathead is what i used.. and done.. good idea when pressing them back in is to use a desk vise! worked great.. will need help of a large flathead again to hold it on the edge so it doesnt slip while going in.. lol.. that sounded funny.. hahaha

btw to get the rest of the arms, rear lower control arm and rest.. you will need a press to do it.. i did them all in about 30 mins but had tools.. go to someones shop and get it done.. dont bother doing it at home unless you have adequate tools. my .02 cents..

I already took of the arms and i burned out the bushings. I just didn't know if I needed to remove the outer shell. I took them to a shops and this guy I know is going to press them in for me.

Thanks for the info.
