Just wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks to remove the rear diff mount bushings in the subframe.

I removed the rubber bushing parts with a high speed drill with one of those round circle hole bits. If you get that out, than just take a hacksaw to the metal ring.. guessing you are installing solid differential bushings?

tip: just removed the whole subframe.. working underneath the car and actually installing the bushings while on the car is near dam impossible.

I was afraid I would have to remove the subframe. Its never as easy as it looks. Maybe I can just lower the subframe enough to get at it and make some kind of press.

Had to remove the subframe and I just used an air hammer to get the bushings out. Took like an hour. Pain in the ass.
