Body mount replacement-separating bushings.

2009 f350 quad cab. Radiator support and third bushing back (the odd sized one at the B pillar) aren't coming easy. I got one of the radiator support bushings apart but the rubber was gone on that one so i used a hammer and the upper portion was metal to metal with the frame so it moved. The others still have rubber so it us cushioning the hammer blows and not allowing it to separate. I cobbled together a puller but the strong back is bending. Any suggestions? I really don't want to cut them out. The one at the front floor board and the rear one came right off with a pry bar.

I used a slide hammer loaner from AutoZone. However, my truck is leveled with 37" tires so I have the clearance. If you have raps to pull your truck up on to, it will work.

Thought about a slide hammer puller but was thinking the upper rubbers would cushion it too much. Will give that a try tomorrow.

Drop the cab back down on the bushings to compress them and reduce the potential for cushioning.

Got to get the lower and upper bushings separated and then I can lift the body to remove the upper bushing and replace the rubber.
