replacing my UCA bushings

Pck up some CA bushings from ironman4x4fab.com Basically easy way, burn out old one. install new one.
 
i picked up a tip from jeeperjohn and its been working great for me. drill 4 or 5 big holes in the rubberclose to the outer edge, then use a chisel and a hammer to fold the sleeve inwards towards the space you just drilled out. once you fold it inwards it will pop right out with a few smacks of the hammer.
 
The best way is to buy or rent a ball joint press which is basically an oversized C-clamp with a bunch of adapters. You can just push the old ones out and the new ones in. If you push the rubber out of the originals you can use a sawzall to cut the outer sleeve and it will fall out (much easier than trying to fold it out)
