Did my axel bushings recently. A large screw driver a BFH and a pipe wrench worked well for me.

We used a torch and hammer and chisel a couple, me and another buddy removed the arms from the Jeep and pressed em out with a drill press.

The best way I found, was to torch the rubber inner part out, then collapse the outer sleeve and knock it out...Just keep in mind, rubber on fire still bounces...

Exactly, the Rawbrown trick is BFH. It worked well.
Getting them in was another story. The HF good for nothing press worked eventually.
And you know this how ???

I did my upper on my axle last night in about 30 minutes. Use a drill, drill out the rubber, then with your punch and hammer smack it the rubber will fall out. Once the rubber is out go to the lip side with a big punch and a 3lb hammer, fold the shell in on itself, once you do that it falls out.
To install, use a ball joint press with the right adapters. Once you do that, bust out the welder and just put a little bead (bump of weld) on the shell to keep it from working back out.
