Not disputing what you say, but why? Have you had a bad experience with them? I have a set I have not yet installed yet, was wondering if I should bother.

The old rubber bushes were bonded onto the arms and you had to get just the right amount of heat to melt a thin skin against the arms without turning the whole lot into a gooey mess. If I didn't use heat then huge chunks of rubber were left behind and they were much harder to remove than whole bushes.
Your experience is probably at the extreme end of the range. I have done this job a few times with MX5s and many more times with other cars, and only had this experience once (with a 1991 Toyota Soarer). But yep, when you get a set that want to stick in there, they can be a right b*tch to get out.
I lol'd at the gooey mess reference - have had that happen once or twice!
