Rusty truck frame body mount bracket with bushings laid out, out…

The other body mounts are much simpler to remove. Simply back out the bolt until no threads are showing below the nut, then strike the bolt head sharply with a ball-peen or dead-blow hammer to separate the sleeves. It's slightly more effective to do this WHILE the body is still resting on the mounts because that preloads the rubber, making it bounce less. The #2 insulators are slightly different from #3-5, so keep their parts separate from those.
