Subframe bush puller

[winfred]

drop the subframe as low as it will go and sawzall (reciprocating saw) through from the inside out though the metal part of the bushing, you know when you are through when it pinches the blade (go further and you are sawing on the subframe), put a couple sockets on top of the bushing and jack up the subframe pushing the bushing out, soap up the new bushing brace the subframe against the floor and jack the bushing inplace

+1... Winfred describes it perfectly.

TIP: Put the new bush in the freezer overnight before fitting or you will struggle to jack it in... I tried to jack one in just using washing up liquid and got it stuck. Had to cut it out again. Not good. Put the next one in the freezer and it popped in within seconds.

You can do it without a puller and save £££, just takes a bit of elbow grease.

...ok not to doubt you all, but:

1. is it really that easy?
2. how much are subframe bushes?
3. I got 150K on my car.... will I "notice" a real improvement?

(already have the delrin inserts, and new dogbones)

If it's like said here... geez, will go for it...but always seemed like the job was a major PITA....

What say you all? ( hey winfred, you're in LA... close to the water by any chance..? 'cause the redfish are kicking ass here in gulf coast mississippi....I'm gettin fat from eatin so many...)
