I did this a few years ago on a corvette..Wish I had this video. Good info. Also for note, don't try burning it out exclusively, its just to weaken the rubber. If you try to burn the rubber out it just makes this arcid black smoke that kills your lungs.
Great video, thanks for the insight in the different methods
Different ways butnice experience i think most easy is hydrolic
Dude you really need a new vise. Get a Wilton Bro!
If you do enough of these try using the metal around the old bushing, cut in half, stake them (weld) be sure to have the lips on both ends, before that shave off just enough to fit, so the arms don't bend, Also, if you bend the arm, use a hydraulic spreader from harbor freight. very fast, or use a coil spring spreader and a air gun. I got to get back into the game and spread the knowledge. hydrosdotbiz is a start up site, check it out every few months. Oh, is that vise for sale 🙂
How do you bend the control arm back into shape?
Legend .. I was really unsure how to sort my control arms.. now where's my drill ! 🙂
The best method that I've seen so far is using a smaller drill bit and go in by the center sleeve. The smaller bit walks it's way around the sleeve until it falls out. Then do the same with the outside of the rubber.
Hey!
I have a question. Bushing is the same everywhere. Has the same dimension? In a few days I will replace them in my Oldsmobile from 1966 and not what I should buy. Please help.
My car is: 1966 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 4dr hardtop sedan 425 cu.

Air chisel is way easier..
Do you have to remove the arm completely? 68 C20 the arms are connected to the rear axle coils with shackles.
This is gonna save me a lot of time and money on my 70
that was great, thanks for showing and comparing different methods.
I had good luck using an air chisel, getting under the lip of the bushing until it starts to move then working my way around the edge of the lip until it comes out.
I appreciate your videos so much keep up the good work and awesome tips
