Yeah, well...After I drilled the holes things would have still been fine, but then I got that puller, and that puller thing ripped the whole inside of the bushing to shreds. There is no rubber in it anymore to speak of. There's also a tiny spring that surrounds the rubber. I didn't know that either, but it popped out, so yeah...I really f*cked it up.

Wish I could go back in time to Saturday, and just put the prop shaft back with the old bushing. Car would be drivable by now. Ugh.

So, I'm gonna call some machine shops tomorrow (I Googled a few and have some phone numbers to call) to see what they can do.

If that all fails I will try your idea with the two pry bars, but I really hope this will all just end with me giving a machine shop 50 bucks and being done with it...
