Easiest way is to drill a series of holes in the bushing, sometimes the drill will actually walk around and peel the bushing out. Then take a punch and beat the metal sleeve down and pull it out with a set of visegrips.

If you need some axle stuff let me know unless you have other hookups Stock GT springs work real well in the rear.

yea back when amazon tuning solutions was up in edgewood we always just drilled them out but i figured there had to be a better way... guess not.

So as not to create confusion and incorrect rumors Rick...

Is there a difference between GT and LX springs or did you mean stock 5.0 springs work real well as opposed to 4 cylinder springs?

You are correct stock 5.0 springs work well, to my knowledge there is not difference in the GT/LX springs, the 93 Cobra springs were different.
