Adjustable strut rods and other parts

I get the bushings right out with an air chisel. 5 minutes each max. If you need to leave the sleeve in, used a drill and drill holes all the way around the rubber and dig it right out, then either use a torch to buth the rest of the rubber out or a die grinder and gently grind the leftover rubber out. I've never understood how folks can make an easy job so difficult.
