Hello all. Well, after replacing basically my whole front end I noticed that the lower strut bracket pushing was worn on both sides. The one that presses into the lower control arm. How difficult are these to replace? Have not seen videos for them anywhere. Do I need any special tools?
Lower strut bracket bushing

I recently replaced mine and did a "How to" on them. I believe there is an alternative method to using a C-clamp for pushing them out that may work, and that would be when the strut assembly is removed from the bushing, is to take both of the 24MM retaining nuts and place them together in a locking fashion on the bushing. Then using a breaker bar, rotate the inner portion which will break it free from the rubber.
At that point, you can follow the "How to" guide using the larger ball joint tool.

How to replace front lower strut bushings
I meant to submit this a couple months ago, hopefully this article is complete enough for anyone to tackle this job, I guess we can edit in the future if needed. I started this job as I was changing my front struts/springs and steering rack. I figured I would get everything into place before...
