Hi. You can also use a thin rotozip bit to remove the rubber.

Do you guys know what size bolts/part number are used for the cross shaft? Any kind of help would be appreciated in tracking these down. Mine are rusted stuck and need to replace but no kits come with them

If you want to save your shaft you can hammer a chisel under the lip of the flush bushing on the upper control arm on the half of it where there's a slight gap. An air chisel would work too unless you don't want to scuff the control arm at all

Thanks for the video it was very detailed and like you said in the beginning everybody else supposedly shows you how to do it but when they take it out all of a sudden is back in there and I'm like what the hell how you do it but I was debating if I was going to do this myself since I can do this kind of stuff but the only thing that I'm lacking on is the torch and the Press so I guess I'm going the easy route but expensive so yes I'm buying a new control arms thanks for the video

Back before I had a garage full of tools to use. I'd just drill out the rubber with a large bit then collapse the shell in on its self with the air hammer and 9/10 tines the pop right out. Then I would use a 5lb hammer with a socket over the new one a block of wood and go full on Neanderthal on it haha
