Need Help Dropping Rear Beam/Axle
2001 Maxima 5sp
I'm dropping the rear beam and the only thing I have left to do is get the trailing arm bushings to come off of the car. They're nice polyurethane bushings so I need them intact. They're stuck in the mounting bracket. In other words, the trailing arms are still connected to the car, but unbolted. The rear beam is fully unbolted and sitting on the ground with the trailing arms at about a 40 degree angle, going up to the car, stuck there. I've used a pry bar, but it's not hardly budging them.
Is there a trick to getting them to come out? I gotta get these bushings out ASAP.
