Default help with bushing kit???

Just got my Prothane bushing kit in today. Since I don't do this for a living, does anyone have advice for a newbie? Thanks Jim

Are these the bushings for the front, rear, or both or other.
Tech tips have a lot of info for them.

I just did my control arm bushings the other night. Me and my bro-inlaw could not move our left hands the next day from missing the screw driver we were using to knock the old ones out.
:cry :cry :lol: :lol: :cheers:

Burn them out, much easier. I just set them on the ground with the torch pointing at them and let it go. This was for the control arms (I got new VB strut rods).

A hole saw also works great. I used one to get the strut rod bushings out, and it worked great. Should also work for the control arms...
