Rear differential bushing failure

The Z1 bushing removal tool doesn't make it easier. I purchased it and used it but would have been easier to cut it out. It took my son and I one pulling and the other using their foot for enough force to push it out using Z1's puller. You can't use an impact on it either causes too much heat.

Interesting. I'll report back on my results. I've got a breaker bar and some tubing for leverage if needed, although the space to work will be limited. I also have a sawzall if needed.

Today I experienced this myself. Plenty of curse words along the way
