neatrix bushing tool
 

The tool that comes with the bushings is not worthless afterall. Instead of throwing it away as suggested by the tech article, HEAT IT with propane torch and then use it. A little smokey but it cuts the old bushings like cheese. Thirty minutes, done deal :D

Another idea: take propane torch and heat the inside of the torsion tube. This will make the old bushing really hot. Grab the rubber bushing with a gloved hand and twist the bushing off. It took me all of 2 minutes to do that, and the residue left was a piece of cake with the wire wheel angle grinder. It took me 5 minutes to figure out the tool was worthless. :)

It works pretty good putting my boots on:)

Ill try that on the other side, after I throw the tool away.
