Reply to "Tools for suspension bushings"

George PAdmin.

To press-out the bushings the press must have enough vertical clearance for the entire width of the control arm to fit.

They didn't design the control arms or the bushings to make those things easy to remove! I've cut-off the bushing "flanges" using a band saw and then pressed the bushings inward until they popped-out of the control arm eyelets. I used a hydraulic press, I can't remember how much force it took to get them moving.

The hard part of doing it the way I did was avoiding cutting the control arm eyelets as I sliced-off the flanges with the band saw.
