Front Control Arm Bushings?!?!?!
After purchasing my B4C, The first thing I wanted to freshen up was the suspension. I have replaced everything on the car except for the front control arm bushings. I purchased a bushing kit for it and upon reading the instructions and calling the tech line at prothane. I found out that I have to reuse the steel shells on the factory bushings. Anybody have any experience with this? I have removed the control arms and inspected the stock bushings, and they are definitely worn out. I replaced the bushings on a 3rd gen car and it was a real pain in the ***. This looks even worse. Any suggestions?

How do you remove the old bushings from the control arms without destroying them (steel shells) and then remove the rubber from the steel shells, again without destroying them. So that I can use the prothane bushing kit I bought?
