cutting them out?

I wouldnt try cutting them out ,the metal part in the middle drops out or You just push it with a screw driver . Then all You have is the rubber coated pipe left in the sub frame its made of pot metal very cheap stuff.The sub frames alot stronger its a pain but coneing the top of it then pb blaster then driving the drift down the side and they drop out .I tried for a week to come up with a tool either the threads stripped on the rod and nuts or the pipe had to much of a angle on it and was cocked . 500 bucks for poly bushings is nuts mine lasted for 200000miles .I got 4 bushings for a hundred bucks on ebay .You might be able to sawsall them out but I would be affraid of tearing into the sub frame .My blades were all kinda dull so I didnt even try .If You make 2 cuts it might work better then beating them out!!!!The exhust hanger I just put a gas pipe on it and bent it out of the way and bent it back .
