Good DIY!

I tried doing this job, but I didn't have enough time or the right tools. Just DIY took off the rear (front) bushings and I'm taking it into a shop.

Some things I COULDN'T figure out. How do you take the parking brake off? I messed with that clip for like 30 minutes, tried prying out the sides and I just couldn't get it off. Also, in pic 16 the back bolt is blocked by a trim piece which is self tapped in. At least I think. How the hell do you take the little black thing off / fit a wrench in there?

For the front bushings, no one in the whole hyundai dealership had a cup that fit. I found a 3 1/8" hole saw and it fit PERFECT. Get a threaded bolt, 3 nuts, and a bunch of washers for equal force. Put one nut on one side and 2 on the side of the hole saw and tighten the single nut. It came 85-90% of the way out before it bottomed out and we just hammered it out with a small cup that fit in. It was a 65/14 oil filter socket. 9$. Taking those out was super easy.
