Front Lower Control Arm Bushing Replacement (Part 2)

*Please Read the Video Description for Helpful Info.*
Part 2 came about for the following reasons:

#1, if you unfortunately find that one or more of your cam adjuster sleeves is rusted inside the bushing sleeve, we show you how you can cut them out with a reciprocating saw.

#2, if you're struggling with the bottle jack technique to remove the old bushings and you're afraid the force required is going to destroy your lower control arms, we offer a second method to accomplish the job using a hydraulic press.
