That works too. I don't think there is anything that can be done to save those damn things.

The thing I didn't like about burning them out is:

1) you're baking off the paint, which will accelerate rust.
2) you're heating a suspension component. No telling if that will weaken or harden the part and contribute to early failure.

btw, it's a bit of a pain to get the cams lined up for the bolts, and there's no way to tell where the cam is *exactly* once its all together.

I finally installed the busings yesterday. I ended up burning the stock ones, it was a pain to take the out the metal sleeves, specially the one in the front (1 pc sleeve)! since we don't have a press/right tools, we just used a punch, mallet, some chisels it would've been easier if we used a saw and cut across the metal sleeve.

I should have mentioned that the other two bushings were easily removed using a C-clamp style press that Jake had just purchased for the shop. He also mentioned that Autozone includes the press kit in its list of loaner tools in case anyone else is doing this install...
