I'm putting a lift on my 90 K5 and I need to know if anyone has a good method for removing old bushings from leaf springs. There has to be a better way than drilling and hammering!

I just use my Harbor Freight hydraulic press to remove 'em.

Even a propane torch, one of the little Bernzomatics, will do it. Smells nasty N-A-double-ass-T-why, but it works if you're patient, and breaks no drill bits.

How do you break drill bits drilling out pieces of rubber? 
This method has always been the easiest, cleanest, and most effective for me. Just drill 'em till there's nothing left.
