Used pb blaster to help loosen the bushings, took an hour or so both sides total.
So far I have been told the whole I-beam needs to come off, but looking at it myself, the way you describe is how I thought it can be done.
My concern is trying to do this myself on the ground without the truck falling on top of me. The older I get the more chicken I get I guess.
I don't have a u-joint press but will have to look for one.
Thanks for quick response
