Is this a job you'll be doing yourself?

Well I've kind of started. But i'm getting seriously pissed off at it already

Yeah it sure is a big job. Started already? Pulling the suspension apart?

Yeah. I'll update my profile soon. I keep doing stuff but not posting it till I've completly finished and stockpiling parts that I never fit

Removing the OEM bushes is the hardest bit IMO.

Can't you burn them out?

Yeah if you have an oxyacetylene torch. Anything smaller than that wont cut the mustard. I tried a blow torch and it didn't really do anything.

The smaller bushes on the upper arms can be popped out with a vice. I did have a plan to make my own bush removal tool with some threaded road and a load of washers but didn't in the end as the vice was quite good.

I've always done them with my little butane blow torch in the past, admittedly not on a Prelude though

I've started taking the rear subframe apart. But everythings seized solid! so far I've had to use the grinder and the airsaw to remove the lower arms. I've not even got to the bushes yet
