This means a trip to Home Depot, and of course another day driving someone else's car.
We even tried to torch the bushing out and attempt to cut the races but that would've taken way too long.

honestly, cutting the races is not hard/all that bad with the proper tool. a good sawzall (i have a milwaukee with a swivel head) with a long, metal-specific blade will make it into a lot of tight spots. then you just pound it out.
