Leaf Spring Bushings
I got the Energy Suspension bushing set & got the old ones out, but, it looks like there is a metal sleeve still in the spring & the new bushings won't fit. I'm guessing it needs to be pressed out any Ideas on how to do it without going to a machine shop?

Sometimes you can get a thin hacksaw blade in there, put the handle back one, make a relief cut then tap them out.
