rear strut rod bushings
 

Was trying to replace rear strut rod bushing but cannot get the shock mount out of strut rod. Have tried penetrating oil, heat and shock mount removal tool with a sledge hammer. Still no luck in getting the parts to come apart.

An ideas?????

Get a bigger hammer, the way your doing it is correct, just keep hiting the removal tool it will come out eventually. PG

You can take it to a machine shop, and have them pressed out.
