Propane torch takes it right out and makes a lot of smoke.....lots of smoke :tup:
Be on good terms if you have close neighbors.

Like they said.... or, you can go and buy the cheapest upper bushings available (~$8.00), burn them out and use the sleeves. Saves having to get the old shells out of the a-arms. That's what I did, so that I could have my new a-arms all assembled and ready to go when I tore the truck apart.

I read the fire technique, but tried a different approach. On each bushing, I popped off one of the two discs/flanges with a pickle fork (no damage). Then on the open end, I just attached a gear puller and pressed out the sleeve (vice helps). Took about 15-20 minutes to do all four. Wasn't that hard.
