Unexpected trouble removing front Lower Control Arm Bushings.
The front Lower Control Arm bushings did not want the “pop out” or even beat out. I finally threaded one side with a ¾ fine tap and threaded a bolt in so I could beat it out from the opposite side with a punch.
When that one was beat out I drilled out some of the rubber from the inside of the other bushing to release the tension so I could beat that one out. I did get them both out. Here are the pics of the reason why they were so hard to get out: Heavy rust wash holding the bushings in.  After cleaning with a Needle scaler  I would have replace this Arm as alot of metal is missing from the bore; except that I have to get the car on the road by the weekend. I painted the inside with Rustolum and when that was dried I coated the inside with Silicone Sealant and installed the bushings.
