Alright , I have the car supported by 4 jack stands.

I loosened all 4 bolts and began taking out the passenger side rear bolt. The bolt, washer and lower bushing came out but I can't get the upper part of the rubber bushing out? I have a jack with a piece of 4x4 under the passenger molding....lifting the side up...My question is how high do I have to jack the car up to get this bushing up? I dont want to tweak things....

Thanks.

Both rear bolts will have to come all the way out. I had to use 2 floor jacks. One supporting the body with a 4x4 and one to lower the subframe down in the rear. You might need up to a 2 inch gap depending on how wasted you old bushings are.
