Default Leaf spring bushing...

The bushing that is in my passenger side rear leaf spring (the lowering bolt passes through it) seems to be getting torn up....is this pressed in? Do I need to remove the whole leaf spring to replace it?

Just curious. what is all involved/not involved.

thanks!!

I'm guessing not cause of the glass spring , but to replace it I would do both sides , easier one at a time . Ron
