1968 Help removing strut rod bushing

[Stathy]

Hello all. I'm having a tough time figuring out how to remove both sets
of strut rod bushings from my car. I know these are suppose to separate somehow but I cannot seem to figure out how.

Does anyone out there have any tips or tricks?

Many thanks for your time.

Cheers
Stan

You need to take a chisel and hammer and take/bend the lip of the tube that connects the outer washers together. Once one end of the tube is bent (the lip of the tube) the assembly will come apart

Fantastic! :cheesy:
I was looking at that tiny lip but was weary of trying to force something that might not want to come loose. This makes complete sense.

Thank you so much!
