how hot is necessary to burn out old bushings? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I am in the process of replacing my old 200k mile bushings with the rsr kit.

I have a propane torch. it is hot enough that it turns green, however, maybe my technique is wrong because I am not having any luck melting out the old bushings per instruction sheet.

anyone have any tips? or would I be better off just biting the financial bullet and spending about $250 taking all of my detached suspension arms over to a shop to have them replace them?
