I probably, likely, almost certainly, didn't do it
I think I'm going to be in agreement with most wheelers and those from the north, that leaf spring bushings must be some sort of level in hell to remove from aged springs and suspensions.
Now, I don't have a press, but I'm cleaning up and rebuilding these leafs and pulling the old bushings out of them was one of the most annoying things I've ever had to do.
My make do method consisted of using an old holesaw to cut out the rubber, in the case of the main frame side bushing I used a beefy screw driver to pull the remaining rubber out. Then after messing about for 2-3 hours using a screw driver and a hammer to beat the seized sleeves into submission, I remembered I had an air chisel and made relatively quick work out of the remainders.
Just figured I'd share. Any of y'all have a better method? Probably a press might be on my next tool to buy list...
P.s. My method makes a huge mess. It has a habit of creating what is effectively roofing tar...
