anyone ever replaced pre-68 front a-arm bushings? Need some help...

[Garrett]

I have removed the front suspension off my 65 911 and cannot get the rear bushings off the front a-arm assembly. Is there a trick to this? The a-arms are stuck into the crossmember and won't budge so I can get at the bushings.

And, where can I buy replacement bushings for these old cars? None of the parts warehouses carry them. Any info would be appreciated! Thank you.

propane torch! apply heat to the bushing for about seven minutes til you can hear it "fizzle" and it will pop off.

I used the Heat and Beat method as well in my '67. The rust inside had bonded with the rubber...bad deal there...but it's all clean now...

I had a machinst friend make some poly bushings up for me...
