Assistance with removal of OEM trac-link bushings
Hi guys,
I am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
I am attempting to remove the OEM trac-link bushings (I did the knuckle/carrier bushings today and everything went smooth - I pressed those out).
However, with the trac-link bushings, the dust shields are in the way and I don't see an easy way to remove those from what I can see with the rotors/calipers off.
Does anyone have any recommendations? The trac-link bushings don't have nearly as much working room as the carrier/knuckle bushings do. I can't press them out like I did the carrier/knuckle bushings since I don't have the room.

I used a balljoint removal tool made by SPC. The c-clamp has an end on it that fits perfectly. You will also need a rattle gun.
Figs Engineering sell the tool from their website.
