The car finally has the cradle mounts installed!! This is not the easiest job in the world. We used the GM tool to both remove the old and install the new bushings. You could do this at home with enough jack stands and a couple of jacks, but I would highly recommend getting a company like Maxxdrive to do this particular job.

To remove the old bushings we first thinned the lip with a die grinder and then used an air chisel to remove the lip. We pulled the bushings out with the GM tool. No heat required. Jason at Maxxdrive made this look easy!

Using the GM tool to install the top half of the new bushing. This takes a little patience to get started, so don't try to rush this part or the bushing will get jammed at an angle.
