New Torque Arm bushing install I'm installing a new torque arm (going with a full length one for now) and I need to get the factory bushing off the clamshell so I can put the new BMR one in there. The two bolts that hold the stock bushing to the clamshell don't have any hex sides to it so one could not unbolt it, so how is this done?

Looks kinda confusing, wish they would have had more visuals with removing the stock piece from the clamshell. I'll have to read this a few times over to get the idea of it...thanks for teh link

You have the clamshell off / in your hand and out of the car correct?
To get the 4 rivets out, you have to either grind them off with a dremel / grinder, or pound them out with hammer and awl
Once you have the rivets out, the bushing will come right off and you can go from there.

Well I got them out, but I ended up having to do a combination of all of it. Grinded, drilled, then hammered. But it did come apart 
Thanks guys. Sure hope the one I get from BMR fits with the B&M torque arm relocation thingy for my th350
