Clevis bush replacement

[DeVilliers]

Morning all,

The clevis bush on the Jeep need replacing. The right side being more shot than the left. You can actually here a "clack, clack sound.

I two new bushings from Moog. The Jeep has a 2" lift and I remember, when installing the lift kit, it was a pain to get the strut in and out of the clevis bush. Compressing the spring, using a jack and a few strong words.
So, two questions:
1. Is there an easy way to do this?
2. How do you get the old bushing out and the new one in without removing the control arm?

Thanks

Use a ball joint press to push the deteriorared rubber out of the sleeve, or drill a bunch of holes in it and cut it out. Then collapse the sleeve by using a punch to relieve pressure. Then use the ball joint press to put the other in. As far as clevis fork. Detach sway bar from control arm and it should be a lot easier.
