[QUOTE="SILVER_SVT_GT, post: 14342800, member: 164819"] Bought bushing removal tool for sub frame bushings. Them are out. There are disconnects for the ABS sensors under the back seat. In exactly the same spot between 03 Cobra/03 GT. My solid axle ABS sensors went with the axle. I got his. No difference. Plugged right in. Seat comes out in ten seconds. Upper arms done. worked like a charm. [ATTACH=full]594674[/ATTACH] Them outer washers come off. Clamp on to the small one with a large pair of vise grips and pry down like hell. With that one out, twist out the other side and take out the crush sleeve. Mine came out together. This opens up the bushing enough to insert a 12" long 3/4" bar. I used a 2" long piece of thick wall tubing with an ID of 1.75" for bushing to be pressed into. Standing arm on end, I set a slightly smaller washer on the rubber and slid the bar through top bushing, down to other bushing, onto washer. I used a big, powered hydraulic press. Just hit the button. Out in 2 seconds. Didn't know I if I was supposed to also remove outer bushing sleeve. Good thing I left them. Doing lowers tonight. [ATTACH=full]594675[/ATTACH] Everything cleaned with heated parts washer at work. Diff, diff case, lower arms, and rear cover already loaded in car for tonight. Had son helping to hold when needed. Actually worked great. Will mic the crush sleeves tonight. Thinking on just machining some out of 304 Stainless. I just so happen to know how to program and operate our HASS ST30ss CNC lathe with live tooling. Bad A$$ machine. All nuts/bolts went right back in same spots. I find its the easiest way when possible. I'm organized...:-D [/QUOTE]
