Default How To Replace A Rear Lower Arm Bushing On a 97 Accord LX

Fellas, just asking a question. First off I snapped off the bolt head to the rear lower control arm holding the strut. Had to drill out the bolt as she was in like it was threaded. Because of the angle, could not drill it straight, so it went in at an angle. Now I want to change the whole bushing to the control arm. Question is what kind of puller, etc. do I need to push out the bushing. The drivers side bolt came right out with a air impact wrench and I had a new strut put on in about 40 minutes. Passenger side took me about 7 hours of drilling banging and die grinding. Now the bushing inside the rubber is drilled off center and I want to replace it. I need some technical help on how to remove the bushing. Thanks The Spudman

Drill/torch the old one out and replace with Energy Suspension polyurethane. The outer metal casing will have to be cut very carefully .... my buddy and I used a mini belt sander and a hacksaw blade.
