Rear wheel hop

There is another method of removing the center bushing... Kind of a pain, but if done right would prove to be a little easier.

Basically you stack the 2 bottom washers together and line it up with the back side of the bushing (it fits perfectly) then you need a huge socket or a piece of pipe big enough for the whole bushing to fit into. You basically go to the hardware store and buy a high grade nut and bolt and and put it together, tighten the nut (slowly to reduce heat, it will break otherwise) and the bushing will begin to slide out.

It could be time consuming, but a lot cleaner than using the air hack saw

this worked on the 350 but on the 370 it is hit and miss because our subframes are made of steel theres were aluminum so the press fit and the corosion welding make the 370 bushing much harder to remove
