Anti-Sway Bar Bushing

Has anyone replaced those pair of rubber bushings on a P30 454 Chev chassis? The sway bar bushings look smashed with cracks.

Mine look squashed and I'd like to replaced them both. Only one looks bad than the other, but I would like them (both) replaced. They look like split type.

Is this a DIY project? Or is there special procedure to follow prior to removing these bushings? What material is better than the other?

I know the weight has to be relieved before proceeding.

BTW: They are the rear bushings.

Thoughts?
  • If you go to YOUTUBE, look for the how to videos, really good demonstrations. Most suggest replacing the bolts with new, and to spray the old bolts with WD-40 or such, to get them to loosen up more easily. Good luck.
