I just received the bushings for 07 FG2 last night, I have learned that you don't need snap ring pliers. The stock ring is plastic, so i just broke it off.

The stock rubber bushings were a bitch to remove, but with persuasion and a knife I was able to remove them.

Here is a tip that will save a lot of you 07 owners a lot of time.

Put the Coresport bushings in a freezer for some time, an hour or so, that way they will go in like butter. I thought about it at night, but it was too late for me. The big bushing was a pain in the ass to put in, it is so tight. Finally I used a 30mm socket on top of the busings (the socket is big enough to clear the bushing so it pushed the shifter ring all the was down.

Remember to put them in a freezer (that way they will contract), big, big time saver, and when they expand back they will not go anywhere.
