Ball joint presses are so good at a variety of suspension repairs. I don't know if it would work on this exact bushing but I on things like tail shaft bushings and the bushing shell on GM lower control arms I use a Sawzall and carefully cut one side of the bushing in half. You have to be extremely careful and not cut 100% through but if you get it close and then use a small flat punch the bushing will usually just push right out. It removes enough material to release the tension. But you have to be able to get the blade completely through the bushing so it doesn't look like it would work on this particular application.
Great idea. I am currently working an RRS, but some of the bushings are so large I imagine I would have to cut my own washers to fit them, plus I think the sleeves are so thin the welds would probably give up before the busing came out, but hell, I like experiments!!

The most economical method I've seen so far. Most require a press, which is ok ... but more money invested.
Thanks !
Great bro. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
@user-oi7db5eu5v thank you Sir for watching !
I bought a 12 ton press for $99 we'll see how well it preforms. All I want it for is to press out/in ball joints and race bearings etc.

Hey let me know how it turns out
@@guzzifabrication3448 If it works you will become an LR/RR enthusiast God!
That is a dynamite video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching !
Easy if you have a welder.
Do you have any friends that have a welder you can borrow
"Easy" because you have all those shop tools. This is not applicable to the driveway mechanic.
If all you have is a socket set and a couple of screw drivers, maybe you shouldn't be attempting this repair.......
