Yea, they really were. They were original 67 bushings so not only were they shot but seized in also. I was able to get 1 of the 4 pieces out without dropping the tank but the others wouldn't budge. I finally dropped the tank and had to make some special pieces to press out the old ones and the new ones in. Luckily I am used to fabricating small parts for my jeep.

Unfortunately I had to put things on hold for 2 weeks because I had to go to Korea for work. I will be home in a few days and will get back at it.
