Here's the question; do I have to remove the axle to replace the bushing? Can I somehow slip it below the frame to replace the bushings?
Yes, just remove the axle pivot bolt so that you can lower the end of the beam slightly and you can do it. That's how I did the Bronco.

I agree with the efficiency reports' conclusions.
However, the research backing those reports was flawed, in failing to take into account medical bills for burned toes and splinters in the heel (especially those metal ones - OUCH!, and don't ask me how I know!)
Therefore, when lost time and medical expenses are factored in, the efficiency goes up to 80% - for the doctor, that is.

You got that right. I dropped an FE head on the edge of my big toe once when wearing regular tennis shoes. It didn't take more than about 15 seconds for blood to soak through the top of the shoe. Luckily my father is a doctor and was able to do some repair work. I could hardly walk for a few days.
Thanks for the reply Bigric.
I was hoping that I would not have to tear down the suspension once again to replace the bushings.
As for the the barefoot thing, I am one of those people that cannot be without at least a pair of socks. Ask my wife, she hates that I wear my socks when we are "visiting". When I work on the truck I have to have on a good ole pair of steel toed boots.
