Im planning on using a holesaw bit to cut a hole even with the upper bushings to remove and replace them. Cut it to where the snap in bag well will cover them when done. Haven't got to it yet, but should work just fine

yes a hole saw (2") works
do not use a butterfly bit
done this dozens of times

If its the urethane body, just take a large screw driver and pry the body up, you can then slide the bolt out.

Done hundreds, never cracked one. The bodies flex a lot, Not sure where you were doing it at. Ive taught everyone I know this way. Saves lots of time, very quick.
