Rear Differential Bushings install in place?

Hey all

Just wrapping up the install of the whiteline RSFB kit and noticed that my rear differential bushing has a small crack in it. Note: My diff is also out for a 3.73 swap. The bushing doesn't feel all that sloppy when moving it around. My question is, is it possible to remove these bushings without having to drop the whole subframe?

You need to drop the diff for that.

Right. I had the diff out. I see where I can press the rear bushings. But the front don’t seem to have much metal around them to be pressed out. I’d rather not drop the subframe.

You can do it with the subframe installed, just the right combination of bushing presses, swearing, and beating your head against the floor and they'll pop right out Not really that big of a job if you already have the diff out.
