Hey, I tried to take the lower suspension strut bolt off my 95 civic lx sedan, and it broke on both sides. I cut off the bolt that is welded on for one side, I was wondering if any of you know how to get the bushing out of the center of where the strut bolts in. Let me know guys.

take off the LCA and press it out (which you are gonna have to do anyways to put the new one in) or burn it out.

How do I press it out? Any other way besides using the right tools, I would rather not spend more money on this, I just had to put out a lot recently, let me know guys. Thanks

All I need to know is how to get the damn thing out without burning it out. I am gonna try and attempt it tomorrow maybe. So i need to know exactly how to do it. I don't have a proper press for it, so what can be used?

Also, does anyone know if the lca's bushing is threaded inside? Let me know asap guys. Thanks

no the bushing isnt threaded inside. the bolts rust in and just dont want to come out. just take the damn control arm off and go to someone who has a press and press the bitch out. you just push the fucking thing out, if they charge you more than 20 bucks you're over paying. christ almighty. if you burn the damn thing out (which is only done usually just to get the strut off because the bolt breaks off inside) then you still have to press the thing out and press the new one in.

Hey, so your saying there is no way to get it out without a press? There has to be a way. I really need to get those things out, so let me know if you think of something.
