Burn the bushings off then burn the truck, then burn your relationships with everyone you once loved then buy a different vehicle.

try using a drill bit around the outside of the rubber but the inside of the steel, just let it spin around the outside of the rubber.

Just get a 5/16 drillbit and ride the perimeter of the steel around the bushing it will eventually come out😏

The only difference between a 1999 and a 2000 upper control arm is the style of boot used on the ball joint.

What's the price of a new versus the price of you having to fight it for an eternity?

Air Hammer (or Hammer and chisel) and knock out one of the side bushings (with sleeve). They come out opposite sides

Disgruntled Californian :
Air hammer. Put the shaft in a vise and air hammer the bushing out of the control arm. Use the nut and a washer on the shaft to install the new bushin

paxtoncamaro91 :
I use an air hammer with like a 2 foot chisel and drive them out and then beat them in and use the nut to press them in

Exomechanica :
cut the bar in half and hammer out separately. when the new bar goes in, you press the bushings on the outer ends.

busted knuckles :
try using a die grinder and cut around the bushing on the inside if other methods dont work

patriotkilt1776 :
Figure out a way to mount them in a hydraulic press. Press the shaft out one way, then use the ball joint press to push out the other bushing.

Maladath1980 :
far easier to replace the whole upper control arm vs the headache of replacing the bushings. but if you want to take em out, 16/32nd bit, and a drill,

us a ball joint press look up 65-70 pontiac and GM Front end rebuild. also you will use the same tool for installing the new bushings.

Butch Edens :
you have to barely put the nut back on one end drive it down with a hammer once it starts moving reverse and do it again

The answer is always a bigger hammer. If you say you’ve tried it, you need a bigger hammer. 😁

Control arms are as cheap as the bushings that come complete with bushings not worth the trouble unless it’s unique not available
