<VV> FW: Pitman arm bushing removal

[Dennis PLEAU]

I agree that is how you do it and I've done a few that way, but it is much easier to put one in that doesn't require removing the shell.  If I have the choice of having to remove it and put in a plastic bushing or just put in a plastic bushing, I'll take the later every time.
