well the front and rear leaf spring bushings come out like POLYURETHANE  bushings ? or are they pressed in ? requiring them to be burned out ?

i assume they are the stock bushings and there is a metal collar in the leaf eye that needs to come out with the bushing. i pried it inward and used a press to get it out. you will need a press to get the rubber bushing out. also too cutting the collar in the space where the eye loops around will help too.

thanks madmax, I was hoping they wernt pressed in but thats not the way my luck goes, I see some drilling and cutting in my near future.

I beat mine out with a hammer and a chisel, sorry but at the time I did not have a way to cut or press them out so I went super cheap and used elbow grease lol oh and some WD-40 too

all the leaf spring rubber bushing came out in 2 parts, the rear shackles were rusted solid but after slicing them off with a hack saw the rubber bushing just poped right out. man did I luck out.
