Was just about to put new bushes in the last spring to complete me lift and I've been met with this (see pic below)

Anyone have any ideas of how to remove it or any where to take it to be removed? I was thinking pedders or ARB or something.

I thought it was just a slide in sleeve but appears to be welded in :? (see red circle)

I took mine to arb to get my bushes pushed out of my radius arms, but they said they didn't have the a tool small enough.

So i got and hack saw, cut though the selvee and then chiseled it out once it cut thought the steel selvee.

yeah I saw that last week but didnt read too far into it as I thought his didnt have the sleeve. But reading it now there is mention of the sleeve that I've encountered to looks like it'll be off to Dad's when misses returns with the car to get a hack saw.

Thanks guys

hey si3rr4, i had the same thing in my stock rears,one of the guys told me they were part of the old bush not the spring so i did the only thing possible. cut first ask questions later ;)

being careful to not cut the spring itself i cut through the sleeves and bashed a screwdriver behind them. that bent them out of shape enough to then bang them out.my bushes were a perfect fit with those sleeves removed.

hope this helps :)

yeah I just got back from dad's so I will go hack now. the other side didnt have it and the new bushes fitted lovely so I assumed it wasnt neccisary to keep the sleeve
