How are these installed? On the C4s we used to burn out the original one.

I am assuming these are for the lowers, since they are the ones that fail. Shoot me a foto. I think I'll need these.

Vette Brakes recomends drilling 3/8th holes in the rubber in several places to loosen the old bushing untill it can be removed. Lube the new Poly bruhings with a good grease and press in. If you dont have a press it can be done with a large clamp.
