Any recommendations on what to use to press out the 1.5" bushing in the rear leaf springs? The shop has a press, but they are struggling to find a press detail to press the bushing out.

Years ago when I did my AAR springs, I just used a piece of exhaust tubing. Piece of cake.

I just used a press and large socket on mine came right out.
This how I did mine as well.

Use your welder to weld inside of the bushing, go round and round 2 or three times and the bushing will shrink and fall out. This works great, also works on lower control arm bushings if you like to get your stuff apart without beating the parts up.
