There was a discussion about removing the bushings from the trailing arm
recently. I just put in new bushings, springs and tube shock conversion
from BPNW. Someone suggested burning them out. I offer an alternative
use a bearing puller. It was so easy that I had to take photos of the
process.

I should also mention that the car drives sooooo much better now, and I have
not yet aligned the rear suspension yet, it doesnt scare the h*ll out of me
when taking a hard corner anymore. The replacement springs and bushings did
lower the rear of the car a bit. Just what I wanted, nice an level. The was
tail high after doing the front springs, bush, etc, a few months ago. Im
convinced that the bushings were so worn, that they held the tail up.
Unfortunately I didnt take measurements, but I would guess on the order of
> inch lower now.
