The topic says it, I wonder if anyone has a better way to get the A-arm and steering stem bushings out without boogering them up.
I'm trying to get the steering stem ones out to pc a stem and don't want to hurt them. I thought for a minute they were the same as the a-arm ones, but checked and they're slightly different. Same design, may be a harder plastic. Anyhow, I usually try to drive a chisel betweem the lip and the metal part and work around them, but I usually end up scraping them up. Once they're finally out a little I'm usually frustrated and grab the channel locks to turn them as I pull and get them the rest of the way out. Somewhere along the way, the BFH usually ends up in my hand. Yeah, it's ugly...
Anybody got a better way?
