Prothane Poly Bushing Install - Step 03: Bushing Removal Part 2

So by now you’ve figure out that our backwoods bushing puller will only remove one of the bushings at a time. The other bushing is still stuck in the control arm.

To get the other one out you need to disassemble the tool and change one of the random deep well sockets to a random big ass deep well socket. Make sure the socket is large enough to clear the entire bushing and rest only on the surrounding metal. It also needs to be deep enough to contain most of the bushing as it gets pressed out.

It should look something like the above photo when reassembled.

Wash, rinse, repeat until all bushing have been removed.

Note: Don’t forget the bushing in the rear uprights!
