easy way to remove bushings

some of you may already know about this. but i just found out about it. i am putting a rear sway bar on my 67 f-100. i am using the rear sway bar from a 86/88 Ford Bronco 2. the frame rails are the same distance apart 34 inches out side to outside. any way the bushings from my rear bar are junk. the easy way to remove them. get a hole saw just a little bit smaller than the bushing. chuck the hole saw in a drill press and Slowly drill out the bushing. i would have used a press ,but i don,t have one. maybe this will help someone.

The stock rubber bushings were junk on the '79 full-size Bronco rear swaybar I got to put on my '69 F100. I replaced them with new polyurethane bushings. The '78/'79 Bronco rear swaybar diameter is 1-1/8".
