Default Removing/Replacing A-Arm Bushings

I need to remove and replace this bushing. I haven't tried very hard, but it appears that it's not gonna be easy. 1996 G16. Any tips are greatly appreciated...

After trying all kinds of things Mr. Chevy and I hit them with a torch and melted them on my G14. Popped right out.

If you can get at the steel outer sleeve,try an air-hammer,otherwise,start at them with a torch,ones the rubber starts smoking and melting,you can usually drive them out,then you will just need to remove the outer steel sleeve.Hope this helps.

Dave, I didn't rebush the front arms because I bought a lift kit, but when I replaced the bushings in my rear swing arm I made sure the swing arm was nice and smooth inside and I put the new bushings in the freezer to shrink the O.D. they went in with a little tap.

Lube the new ones up with soap and compress the front lip with a hose clamp.We the took a long bolt with BIG washers to pull the new ones in.

OK--just got the new OEM bushings. No metal sleeve. All rubber. I will try this method.

Hi Dave, The bushing I used had the inner metal bushing and looked like this. Are we talking about the same item ?
