Nice. I've got a few ideas to try, hopefully they won't be seized in there. I was thinking about using a large c-clamp with a socket that the bushing can fit in.

Got around to installing the bushings last week. Pretty straight forward. I was able to come up with a tool to press the upper control arm bushings out of the control arm without removing it from the car. Just unbolted the arm from the body and pressed the old ones out and the new ones in. Didn't have to take off the ball joint or anything. The lowers I had to burn out like the instructions said which wasn't too bad. Car feels totally different. Need to get an alighment next week when I can find some time and should be good to go.

Was going through this thread but really don't know if those with the new sc300/400 had any problem with the polyurethane bushings? Also where did you guys get the bushings from? I tried to search but really can't find anything. Both of mine are cracked so please help me. Thanks
