I bought some and got the control arm off... without disconnecting the knuckle... I won't do the other side that way!
Anyhow my rear pivot looks like it is moulded into an insert/sleeve that is pressed into the control arm. To remove it the way Energy says I would have to destroy the old rubber while saving the bug sleeve that is pressed into the rear control arm pivot. I expect some rubber to stay and can only think I have to buff the rubber off? The replacements look very different from OEM. I have pics.
