I'm changing the sway bar bushings on my F250 and can't seem to knock out the old bushings. Need to use a hydraulic press to get them out. Can anyone here help me out? Next Saturday is fine, don't want to mess up anybody's Christmas.

They are a major pain in the ass. We did my bro in laws and it wasnt an easy task to press them out. And in the end he still had the clunk in the front. |

Are they rubber? We could just burn them out if a press doesn't work. |

So you know superdutys are common for a body mount clunk that can seem like a suspension clunk, it's commonly the mount on the front of the floor below the firewall Sent from my iPhone using |

I can grab the sway bar and make it clunk. It is pretty loose on the drivers side. |

Replaced mine with urethane bushing. Make sure you get them back on TIGHT! I still had the clunk, but I simply didn't tighten the bolts on the frame enough! |
