Are you trying to beat them out or press them out? I think best course of action if you don't have a press is Mazcare or a machine shop. They should be able to do it in about 30 min.

If you don't have a press, a blowtorch works wonders too.

what i did was just take the chunk of suspension that the bushing sits in to a machine shop, had them press the old ones out (or i might have gotten the old ones out myself, i don't remember) and press the new ones in, but i also had another car to drive while i was doing this, but i think that would be the easiest way. after the new bushings controlling drifts was wayyyy better.

Murphy"s law was written specifically for cars. They will do a 180 turn faster than anything else in the world. Except for woman. :D
