Front of rear Diff bushings: 30 minutes
Passenger side Power Steering bushing: 15 minutes
Drivers side Power Steering Bushing: 1 Hour and 45 Minutes. Definitely not priceless.

Heating it up in warm water for a bit finally made it pliable to get around the second corner.

Oh, and Scott, remember when we spent like an hour rummaging through your garage at your apartment looking for the "old" Diff bushings to put back in so you would be STX legal, and failed to find them?

Well, I know why now. There are no "old" bushings. The Poly bushings in the kit supplement the stock ones by basically taking up all the space around the stock bushing so they can't deflect, as well as adding 10mm on the top and 4mm on the bottom of highly incompressible Poly for the mating surfaces to push against. The only thing I have left are the extra inserts for the pre '02 10mm top bushings, just like you had in the drawer...

Oh, and it is quite a mild night out. No wind is a big help.
