Ok........here's some pic's of the sub-frame.

First 2 pic's is with the old bushings still in.

Last 2 pic's is what it looks like under the car with the sub-frame out.

More pic's.

Used a 2" dia. deep hole saw to remove the inner part.

Then used a 2.5 hole saw to remove the inner shell.

Then used my Snap-On air chisel with the inner muffler bit to remove the outer shell.

More pic's.

Used a flapper wheel to remove any burrs and to smooth out the in side of the hole. Coat the inside of the hole with anti-seize. After removing the bushing from the freeze. Where it's been sitting for months. I installed both rear bushings with my ball joint press. When the wrench gets hard to tighten. Take a big ball peen and hammer on the side of the frame where the bushing is. The vibrations help loosen the bushing to frame contact.

I got both rear bushings replaced in about 4 hrs.

Replacing the rubber bushings that hold the rear sub-frame to the body with SPL aluminum bushings. There will be no movement in the rear at all. Everything will be locked down tight.
