I HAVE NO WORDS! I am beyond frustrated. My body is scraped, cut, bruised, and sore. My mind is exhausted. It shouldn't take 3-4 days to get bushings out...

What started as just a swaybar replacement job... "I thought there's no way the bushings are that hard, I've done it on other cars before..."

Any tips or tricks I haven't already thought of? I've used every fluid/spray for loosening rusted parts you can think of. I've tried heat and cold. I've destroyed my chisels, sawzall blades, and now my sanity.

I've basically given up, even using the expensive Z1 bushing removal tool.... I am trying to figure out if I can move the car the way it is right now with the differential completely unbolted off the car... if I could drive with FWD only, that's good. Or if I can just move it out of the garage at least so I can get it on a tow truck? I'm about ready to take it to a shop. FML.

 

You've probably already seen this but just in case:
Bushing sleeve removal starts at around 8:20

g/l

 

Thanks man yessir I have watched that one and them all. Make it look so easy. This is what happens when you have 120k on a car probably from somewhere in the USA that has way more rust on cars than Colorado. Ugh.

Am currently waiting on a tow truck. I just pray the shop doesn't want to rape me for just removing the metal sleeve.

You coupe guys have it way easier lol way more room to access that crossmember subframe piece. There's no way to get anything in there on the sedan.
