The two front bushing were a little hard to get out. There were in there tight. I used a big socket and a 16oz hammer at first. The bushing sat there and laffed at me. I then wen tot my gym and grabbed my 20lbs dumbell and gave her one clean wack. I showed it!

As for the rear bushing, it's not bad if you plan and have space. I read as much as I could about it before I did my install. Get the back end as high up as possible, and remove as much of the center part of the OEM bushing out as possible prior to cutting the outside ring. The rubber binds the blade and makes it hard for the blade to cut. I used a bottle jack to push the middle out after I drilled a bunch of holes. It worked beautifully as shown in my videos. It took me a few hours because I was working mostly in the dark (I didn't start untill evening).

I did not use the little rubber disk that was on the bottom of the 2 front OEM bushings.
