LEAF SPRING BUSHINGS ?
Could heat the spring slightly to open the eye up. Or use a wedge and drive it between the leaf and the eye to relieve some pressure on the bushings collar. It's going to take some solid hits, I removed the ones from my skyjacker springs and replaced them with urethane bushings. They came out hard enough being new so... Good luck

find someone with a press and youll be all set. well thats if ur taking ur hole leaf spring pack.
|
you can burn them out with a torch. but watch out the steel sleeve will shoot out when it gets hot enough
|
ya burn them out and use a air hammer and just push them threw, the i made up a tool big/ long threaded rod welded a nut on one end with big washers and press the new bushing in with that. works well if you have a half inch impact gun.
|
i did my front ones and they are polyutherane i believe with a steel sleeve that the bolt goes through. Mine were pretty stuck in there i had to drill outt the steel sleeve and work around the bushing and between the spring with a screwdriver to get it loose. It was a pain in the @$$

air hammer works good, just make sure its a good one and it will knock em right out no problem
|
a buddy of mine says a ball joint press works good i haven't tried myself though.
|
Get em out yet?
