I was able to get one bushing back out! Now I'll just take a bit of metal off the sleeve and draw it back in. I'll see if I can get the other side back out. Hell, it's coming out either way.

Yep! Determined to get the job done and done right! Well, as right as possible. I'd take that road trip any day...that I can afford it! 
Boy, I love me a road trip!
rjewkes, what was that guy after? That guy wasn't you, was it?
Tonight, I got the other side out as well! Tomorrow, I'll grind off that mushroom and get that bushing in!

He was after the springs for another customer. No it was not me. I was in the truck retrieving some much needed dash pieces and exterior hood beltline Chrome.
