Those two studs holding it to the LCA are friction fit and have a tendency to spin...
usually need to torch em and lube em couple cycles to get those nuts off...

And then getting that t-bar out usually requires extra bottle jack to jack the LC arm up and down to free that bar with the studs....

I wouldnt bang out the studs.....that could strip em even further, making reassembly difficult...

Can buy bushings by themselves if you have a C-press........or after market t-bar with new ones already installed..........cost you 4 times the price to do it that way tho....

 

If you let that torsion bushing go to far to long, that extra play greatly accelerates wear on all the other bushings and ball joints all around it.
