Hello all! Well I was proceeding along rather nicely re-installing my
suspension. Until I came to the old metal bushings that fit over the lower
wishbone fulcrum (the one welded to the chassis). The two in the back came
off nice and easy --- pretty much on their own. The two up front, however,
won't budget at all. It's almost like they are permanently installed. Any
tips on how to get them off? I've soaked for a couple of days w/ penetrant,
and also tried heating them. Not a budget to them.

Any ideas? I'm sort of stuck with getting this back together quickly so I
can give the chassis back to the shop that's working on the body. Last
resort (which I don't like) is leaving the old ones on their. I've at least
sanded them a bit and the wishbone arms will fit over them OK.
