So I jacked it up and got the frame mount bolts out with alot of PB and a large impact. But the end links were NOT happening so I got out the cut off wheel.

And as you can see the inside was completely rusted into the rubber and there was NO chance of it ever coming off.

Here we have Factory 19mm bushing. A stock 13mm poly, and then my drilled poly to fit 19mm. I used a 7/8" drill bit I believe. I just put the bracket around the bushing and clamped it.

Bolts never seized, and bushings lubed and ready for install.

It handles WAY better. it stiffened up that rear end alot, I am very pleased with it.
