How To Remove Stabilizer Bar Bushings

[Lew]

How to remove the Stabilizer Bar Bushings from the front beam. First spray a little Blaster or WD 40 on the Stablizer Bar where it goes through the rubber Bushings. This will help the Bar move easier. Use a drift or punch and place it on the end of the Stablizer Bar (rod) and tap it back until it's flush with the rubber Bushing. Tap the other side also until it's back flush with the Bushing. Continue working from side to side until one side of the Bar is pass the first Bushing. Then work the other side until it's pass the Bushing. Continue on each side until the Bar is completely out of one side, then you can remove the Bar from the Beam by twisting until it's free. The pictures will show what to do in order to remove the clips from the Bushing Retainers. Your Bushings will most likely be hard and out of shape and should be discarded. New Bushings, Retainers, and Clips are available from vendors.
