Started installation of my S14 ES Poly Subframe bushings. A little background: I have a Craftsman Recip. Saw, a propane torch, a small (6 ton) hydraulic press, as well as hammer and chisel, so I should have all I need for tools... Anyways...

I popped out the passenger front subframe bushing... And using project car magazine as a guide, I removed the inner metal sleeve; the one I'm not supposed to remove... And I'd rather not just run with that and use metal bushings... What I need to know is: if there is any way I can get a new sleeve, either from a "new" bushing or someone who removed it all in such a way as to not obliterate it (like I did). Basically any way except buying a new Subframe... Cuz I feel like a retard for not double checking the instructions, and I really wanna fix it even if I just have to burn out a bushing and press the new one in...

Any help is super appreciated. Prompt responses also appreciated. Also, sales offers of intact bushings or whatever help anyone can give.
