Hey I am installing the entire ES Hyperflex bushing kit is my car as soon as I get a free day. I was just wondering if any one had any tips or little secrets to possibly make my job easier and quicker. Any info will help................thanks...

Have a propane torch ready. You'll need to burn a couple of them out, guaranteed.

Get a ball joint press on loan from an autoparts store. It is very handy at pressing out the rear control arm bushings.

Some of my rear control arm bolts were rusted to the bushing sleeve. One bolt I was not able to remove. But this car has 265000 Ohio miles.

Have you ever removed ball joints before?

Heres a tip. Count on more than 1 day to install. If your car is in the rust belt you'll have a hell of a time getting the long bolts off the rear hubs. Lot's of flame and heat both on the metal and rubber surfaces is key.
