rubber eating chemical?

I wish I was there to help, this is being made waay too difficult.

The verdict: dichoromethane (aka methylene chloride) will dissolve rubber, or at least make it squishy (scientific word there).
It's a paint stripper, should be able to get it at a paint store.

Thanks for the info, fellas. I'll probably try some of that stuff when it comes time to switch out the old bushings.
