A-Arm Bushings

[flyfloatr]

Hello, I am new to this site but it looks great. Anyhow, I just bought a 96 Warrior and it needed the A-arm bushings replaced. I ordered a kit from amstarmanufacturing.com that includes everything for the rebuild. I havn't got into it yet, but was wondering if the metal (I don't know what to call it, sleeve or bushing or something) is going to be hard to get out? Are there any tricks I should know before I get started? Thanks in advance for any input.

Rubber mallet is definately going to help and some pry bars to help, just dont rely on them for everything and start breaking things. I recently redid mine on my blaster and was very simple. I mainly used a screw driver to get the old ones out since It didn't matter if I destroyed them and then tamped the new ones in with a rubber malet. definately keep everything greased that way you dont have to do it again for a long time.

So I guess I probably won't be able to do this without completely removing the A-arms. How hard is it to pop them off?
