Default Bar pin eliminator install

I just installed my Bar pin eliminators in the rear shock mounts. I would buy them if i were you all.

ALOT better than this Bar Pin.

Did you have any trouble getting the bar pin out of the shock?

Yeah, I'm curious also. Last time I looked at my shocks (BB install) it didn't look like an easy job getting the bar pin out. Fill us in.

When I was looking for a replacement for my bar pin (Skyjacker Hydro 7000 shocks), i found out that JK's have a larger pin than older Jeeps. I finally found a shop that has a stock JK shock, but the pin was impossible to remove, even using a vise. The rubber bushing would not let go. It was a lot easier with my Skyjackers. I think the bushings are neoprene or something other than rubber.

Couldn't you just cut one end of the bar pin off with a sawzall and slide it out?
