TomRhere Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Have read on here about Owners trying to replace those bushings and basically destroyed the control arm in tht atempt. Other's have stated they burned-out, drilled-out, the rubber portion then cut the outer shell to remove it. That would be my way of doing so, if I were to atempt that. Then I would do some type of aftermarket bushing insert, made to fit like Nico has done. I do have 2 bushings here for an EA81 control arm, thinking they are the same for EA82's. You can have the bushings I have have here for a small cost plus shipping. I'm open to offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always make your own bushing remover, using allthread, nuts and washers. Should press it out easy.. For bushing Call Outback Technolgies USA, this guy will now what you want.

bratman2 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I drilled the rubber out of them on my EA81 Brat. Then cut a groove in it and they came out without too much trouble. Putting them back in was a little more trouble. I finally had to take them and have them pressed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
