I had to use a very large Proto gear puller to get the rear bushings off. Those suckers were rusted tight. I don't think they used any grease or anti-seize at the factory.
You really need the factory tool to get the front control arm bushings on, but you can buy it on eBay for $15. If you don't have the WIS, which lists the Kent Moore part number, I can get it for you later. I took the tool, the bushings, and the control arms to a local shop, and they had them pressed in in no time at all. Don't get the ProParts poly bushings. They only last a year according to a lot of posts on some other sites. If you want to spend the money, get the Powerflex, but the original GM bushings and the tool are less than $50 and seem to last forever.
