Best way to remove old bushings and replace with Energy?

[CMG]

I have a whole extra set of suspension and arms plus the energy suspension bushing set. Can anybody suggest the best way to remove and replace the bushings? Can it be don with a basic screw type clamp or do I need some special tools?

fire, screwdriver, and a sawzall. That worked for me

Burning them off was HELL! I don't know how anybody has had luck with that. I tried torching them for about 30 mins and it was fruitless. The sawzall worked, but you have to be CAREFUL about not knicking the part you're keeping.

Best way would be a shop press.

I have a sawzall, but I'm doing the whole suspension and that would take forever. A shop press would work, but I don't have one of those. Do you guys know of a hand held clamp with attachments for the different size holes or something like that?

I used a ball joint press and a 21mm snap-on impact socket, perfect fit for pressing those stubborn suckers out. I also used a freeze plug (matched to size of the new bushing), slip joint plyers, rubber malet and a c-clamp to press the energy suspension bushings in. Worked great!
