I'm replacing one of my rear LCAs because the endlink hole is stripped and has half a bolt stuck in it. I have the replacement, it has beat up stock rubber bushings in it, and the one on the car has ES PU bushings, which I didn't install (they came on the car). So I don't know how to swap them, do I just press out the old ones and then swap the PU over to them?

I removed mine by heating the bushing. Then twisting and turning the small metal collar until it came out. Had it in a vice with made it easier. Then took a hack saw and cut the outer metal collar to releive pressure on it. Be careful when cutting, if you go to far you will cut into the control arm. Then I hit it with a small chisel to knock it out. If you cut it properly it should pop out. Then I used the vice and some big sockets to install the ES bushings. The grease they give you is messy and more like pine tar.

Press out the old ones, then press in the new ones (easier, since they're a two part bushing).

Option B:
SPC LCAs.
