Oh, and they said they do a similar technique of burning out the rubber and removing the core first. The tech used a torch to set all of the rubber parts on fire and then went to lunch so he could get to pressing out the collar after eating.

So, that's $300 includes McBrides plus bushing cost?
Yep, $200 for the bushings from Am Toy and $100 for McBrides

Curious why you selected McBrides and not some other shop like NAPA or Desert Rat?
I called Napa and they won't touch them and suggested McBrides, so I went there!

This is great info, thanks Steve. Would you mind updating the thread that talks about "local resources" with this info? I'm sure it'd help out others as most folks hate doing this job!!!
Other than time consuming I didn’t think it was terrible. The ball joints were worse to get out than the bushings.

Did you replace ball joints too?
Nope, mine were in good shape on the bottom and the top was changed with the UCAs
