Best drill out the rubber and remove everything first, then youl need either a bloody good chisel I used a elect heavy duty one and smashed it out in the end,

Or use a hacksaw and inverting the blade to cut a slice of the cage then crush it inwards to make it easier to remove from the axle.

The polybush above after we cleaned the axle went it quite easy without any speacial tools just a rubber mallet :wink:

The skill is doing it on the drive, with the car on axle stands, without taking the beam off,On your own, with hand tools. Lol :grin:
