Rear Lower strut brushing
Hey guys,
I'm trying to replace my rear struts, but the lower bolt is seized to the brushing. The head bolt basically broke, so the rest of the bolt is stuck inside the brushing. Is that brushing replaceable? Or anyone have idea how to get it out? Or Do I have to replace the whole knuckle?
item #15 is the Bolt that broke

My suspension guy had to burn out the bushing and break it out in pieces it does come out, otherwise, just bust the whole bushing out and replace it. I have all new bolts so when I replaced my stock suspension from my omnis I didn't have this problem

I finally got it done. Burned the bushing, then cut the bushing's metal exterior from the knuckle with a dreamel. Knocked it out with a large socket and hammer. Pushed it back in with a bench vise. Worked like a charm.
Bushings only cost $15. You saved my butt from having to look for new knuckles. Thanks man.
