I was thinking you could just use a puller to remove them and be good to go if they're relatively new and in good shape.
Are you thinking they're going to get torn up/damaged on removal?

Did some research. From what I read, you cannot reuse oem rubber bushings, but you can reuse urethane bushings.
If that is the case, you would not be able to reuse the Meyle HDs.

Thank you both for your help.
I will not do the job myself. Indy guy as an awesome press to exchange rubber bushings on the CABs. I will ask him:
1) What CA he plans on putting in there (thanks to you guys and a little research, I know the prices and also recognize the need for the HD MEYLE).
2) What bushings he will use, or will he reuse the existing ones.
See, I didn't realize the CA was attached to the CAB, I thought it was just pushed in with a little grease. As such, I thought it would just come out as easily. I see (thanks for the links Kayger) now that separating the CA from CAB is pretty hard and pretty much destroys the bushings.
Maybe the indy guy has a trick to removing them with his press.
I will check with him and let you know.

Sounds good, Oli. It looks like even if you press off the Meyles they will be deformed and no good for reuse. I would just play it safe and go with new CABs.
Let us know how you make out.

The oem ones....from what I have seen and heard....basically pull apart upon removal.....and they are filled with fluid.

That's cheap compared to the "xi" control arms, inner balljoints, and bushings.

this is where i bought mine.....it comes with the fcab as well. if you just need the arms you could always sell the bushings and get the arms for roughly $325 total. thats what i did. and also a very easy diy.

Hey Dane, are you planning to get the ZHP control arms with the Performance kit?
And since you don't need the shocks, I could get those off your hands =)
