Just an update paint stripper does not eat away at the rubber in our bushings, I believe it is a neoprene compound.

In any event I found a new use for the stripper as an accelerant, I'll update y'all with how that turns out later tonight.

Got one sleeve out, and pressed out all the center sleeves.

Accidentally cut into the housings in the control arm, it wasnt super deep but I ground it out and smoothed it...

I figured it was a better plan to have a slightly misshaped housing than to have a sharp edge cutting into the bushing. Lets hope I figured right!

On a side note my throat is swollen and in pain since inhaling the burning neoprene prolly could use better ventilation.

Side note...

Things I would wish on my enemies in order.

1. Endless urethane bushing installs

2. Aids

3. Multiple children with a much different skin complexion then their own.

Tidbit:

Don't use allen head bolts on the down pipe to turbo connection. I wanted to use them because they are stronger than grade 8 and heat treated for high temp use but they are impossible to get tight in that location. So now I am off to NAPA at lunch to high temp treat hex bolts. I did get the turbo bolted up and the lines ran though so the hard part is done.
