Need tips to remove bushings
Have some bushings that need to replace but are still good enough to be stuck within the parts. Any tips to get them out?

Re: Need tips to remove bushings
Most of them you can put in a bench vice or press, and place a slightly larger diameter socket on one side, and then a smaller diameter socket or brass rod on the other and the bushing will press into the socket.
You can use a C-clamp also (just a little harder) |

Take an older drill bit, about 1/8”, and run to around the outside of the bushing and it will walk right out

cajunbug please list your cart info when asking a question ... give more details about problem it helps us from this confusion ' JACK UP CART AND PLACE ON JACK STANDS FOR ANY WORK!!! Precedent is ez.. put jack under axle just enough to release the tension do one side at a time PB blaster bushings remove the nuts and pull (or tap) bolt out pry out old rubber and sleeve (all three) if bolt in front is not coming out ... soak it with PB plaster and a wait 15 min repeat a few times still stuck ? your sleeve is stuck on bolt... put an air gun on bolt and spin fast for a few ( i have taped on bolt while spinning ) STILL STUCK ??? sawzall between the frame hanger and leaf springs on bolt head side .... do not cut out side frame hanger it won't work Club Car DS is more work .... put jack under axle just enough to release the tension do one side at a time PB blaster bushings remove the rear lower bushings first... take nut off and pull (or tap) bolt out pry out old rubber and sleeve rear upper bushings ... Take nut off ...bolt will not come out !!! (design flaw) here you have 2 choices 1 pry up body and pull or tap out bolt 2 cut a 2" hole in body under the mat where bot head is ( make sure mat will cover it when you put it back) see drawing below number 2 is how do it so i cam put bolt back in easy if bolt in front is not coming .. out soak it with PB plaster and a wait 15 min repeat a few times still stuck ? your sleeve is stuck on bolt... put an air gun on bolt and spin fast for a few ( i have taped on bolt while spinning ) STILL STUCK ??? sawzall between the frame hanger and leaf springs on bolt head side .... do not cut out side frame hanger it won't work any questions we will be glad to help NOTE: make sure you order yor carts bushings as they are different |

And I have had bushings stuck and used a drill bit or dremel tool on the outer edges and worked them out just as E36 said.... They are just all ideas and/or suggestions to help the OP out. Now get better and get out of there and we will come race you for bragging rights! |

Re: Need tips to remove bushings
Thanks, guys.
I will give your tips a try. And yes I was talking about all general bushings. Control arm, leaf springs whatever. I just know I have a few that are still with their housings and I want to remove and replace while I have the cart taken apart to refurb. |

Re: Need tips to remove bushings
I have an '09 Precedent. I already upgraded my rear leaf springs to HD, put in new shocks, but I need to replace my upper leaf spring hanger bushing. There is not enough room to slide the bolt out or a new one back in. Looking at "crash test dummy" drawing, it's bolt #14 and bushing sleeve #16 and bushings #4. Do I have to drill an access hole in the plastic surrounding? Or, do I have to take off the body which seems kind of extreme just to get out one bolt.
