Did my e70 inner bushings a few months back and about to do my e53. The ones on the e70 didn't look pretty but I sanded them, put lube and the new bushings went in fine.
Maybe let them soak with some WD-40 or other penetrating lube before pressing them out? YMMV.

If I have imperfect bearing / bushing race I'll find a bimetal hole saw about the exact size and use foam mounting tape to hold sandpaper and use a drill to hone the opening.

The LOWER control arms are $600 each. The two bushings needed for each arm are a total of $30 per side. Please tell me you don’t help people with money issues for a living. I am replacing EVERY bushing and ball joint on the whole vehicle. But I am not going to chuck an extra $1,200 at the thing for no reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In this post you indicated LOWER, I have not had any issue with my lower, only upper. That was my assumption. Yes I am a retired broker, but I think it’s unfair you slam me, because you did not state which arms that were faulty. Regarding pressing in new bushings, make sure there is ZERO play!

I currently have them at -10f in the freezer as I have done with other bushings in the pas. I will heat the swing arm to expand it prior to pressing. But I will definitely take your advice about trying to pre compress the bushing prior to installing. The scoring on the bore was just odd and not like anything I have ever seen before. I have done a ton of bushing replacements but this set just was very different Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
