I finally completed all 4 bushings on the rear subframe.
The links were useful. I have some suggestions to add
1) Use a 2 inch washer at the edge of the front rear subframe bushing and use a 1/2 inch extension with a 16mm socket pushing from the bottom. I used a jack to push up from the bottom. Bushing came out in 15 mins.
2) Becareful when pushing in the bushing, there is a 1/4 inch protrusion at the bottom. U need to use some big washers and spacers to push down the bushing. One way to get the bushing to seat is get 2 big plates that will fit at the top, when using the bolt and washer method of pushing the bushing in.
3) The rear bushing of the subframe bushing was a walk in the park. I unscrewed the bolt, lowered the car, pushed in a 16mm socket at the top of the bushing jamming it between the screwin cyclinder and the bushing and jacked the subframe up. Came out in 5 mins.
4) Used a jack with a wooden block to push in the bushing. Slides in easy. Takes about 5 mins to complete the push in.
Thanks once again for ur help.
Next project - differential bushings!
