How do you remove upper control arm bushings (87033-7) and sleeve (653410-1) without trashing sleeve?

Upper control arm (wishbone) and shaft (658043-5) removed for bushing replacement.

How to install new bushings?

Remove the nuts and u-bolts that surround the sleeve, move the a arm out of the way (watch your fingers), remove the nuts and washers from the end of the dogbone bolt, slide the sleeve with bushing off the bolt. Pull the old bushings out, squeeze the new ones in, reassemble.

Be sure the car is appropriately supported before taking that stuff apart.

Thanks.
I have the dog bone shaft out of the car (entire front axle out and disassembled).

Old bushing with sleeve doesn't seem to want to budge from shaft.

I'll lube soak and revisit.

When reassembling, do 2 piece poly bushing make any difference in ride etc?

Thanks

I used poly bushings on my 1800, drove the car for nineteen years and for all of those years I was sorry I used poly. First, they were somewhat difficult to deal with at installation. Second the ride, including noise, was pretty harsh. I just rebuilt the suspension on my 122 and used rubber throughout. A much easier install and a pretty nice ride. Of course a press helps greatly to remove the old bushings and install the new ones.

There has been significant improvement in the suitability of aftermarket Amazon poly bushings over the past 20 years.
While it is still possible to find poly that is too hard (IPD's suspension stuff?), the bushings made for SuperPro in Australia is, IMHO, the perfect compromise...
IPD's swaybay poly is fine by me.

I just wish all the stuff was in black...

burn it out. Most say the poly bushings are hard riding....i stay with rubber because i figure it's easier on all the other old suspension bits....as well as me.

IMO it's a good idea to fit poly bushes here if only because the ones available now are generally very poor quality, no where near as good as the Volvo originals. Even those could be past their best after 20k even if they weren't changed until 80k. They are small and take a lot of stress.
Anti roll bar support bushes and end links also a good place to fit poly, very easy change over, but NVH does get affected if you fit them everywhere else. NVH wasn't an exact science back in the 60's.

Thanks.

Lubing got the bushing/sleeve off the shafts.

Now to remove old bushing from sleeves...I was also thinking cut one bushing collar end or burn them off. Sleeves appear ok.

New rubber bushings on the way. Will use the poly bushes that came with IPD sway bar kit, rubber elsewhere.

New Bilsteins arrived = $174/pair delivered.
