I need to remove and replace the poly bushings from my rear trailing arms. They are squeaking and popping and I can't stand it anymore.
The bushings are held in place with JB Weld. The arms are freshly powder coated and have new bearings in place so I don't want to use a torch to melt the JB Weld. Any suggestions on how to remove the bushings and clean up the inside diameter of the trailing arms without using a torch? Thanks in advance. Jack |

I guess I would try to drive them out from the backside using a pipe and a hammer and see if you can get the JB weld to break?
Maybe filling the bushing with dry ice would make it brittle or crack it? I would take them to work and hose them with liquid nitrogen. |
