Did i ever claim to be an expert and did i ever state it couldn't be done on the car? 
Install the bushing with the sleeve???
You're talking about using a bushing removal tool...wich should push the stock bushing and the sleve it's molded too out of the knuckle. AFAIK you cannot install the ES bushing with the stock metal sleve sill in the knuckle, it just won't fit correctly, the center standof for the ES bushing will fit so tightly you can't even rotate it. The bushing comes bevled just enough to be pressed in as-is WITOHUT the stock sleve in the knuckle...
I've done this install 3 times...all went flawlessly and needed no modification to any bushings.
