Help on removing stock diff bushing

[cobrarob]

Hey guys, i ordered the Steeda spherical diff bushing,any advice/help on removing the stock one. Thanks

Here's what I did... I drilled multiple small holes in the rubber bushing until the main middle section was out. Then I used a dremel to clean up the rest of it. Kind of a dirty job, but retains the shell nicely. I used a poly bushing that required using the original bushing shell. Not sure on the spherical type.

Thanks Alex,when i bought the bushing he said about pressing it out. Thought they have some sort of tool to press it out,
Im lookin at previous post of some guys that did did it already. Thanks man

You can make a tool to press it out and it really isn't very difficult. I helped a friend of mine do his and after he removed the rubber center he used a reciprocating saw and cut one grove into the bushing and it came right out. Lower the diff as low as possible and it will give you the best access to the bushing. I used a tool from a member on the forum to press mine out but if you go the reciprocating saw route remove the lower shock bolts and lower the diff to give you more room to work with. Good luck

I use a 2 1/2 dia tubing about 3 1/2 long and a a flat plate that's 2 3/4 in dia. All thread cut down to the size I need, thick washers and bolts.. then just press it out.
