Lower control arm outer bushing shell removal frustration...

So I tried welding a washer to the outer bushing shell and pressing it out...Twice. Both times the welds pulled chunks of the bushing shell off with the welds, so now there's not much of a rim left to weld to. :wack: Any other suggestions? How thick is the metal in the walls of the bushing shell?

If you can find a washer to fit down inside, just weld to the wall of the shell, its probably about 18 gauge thickness. You could tack a piece of coathanger to the edge of the washer and lower it in just below the rim .
