Pulling Rear Suspension Bushings (Page 2/2) eti engineer JAN 05, 09:51 AM I made a tool for doing the rear bushings and it worked great!!! I will make a video or photo shoot. I used a regular 5-ton puller, 30 bucks at Harbor Freight, a carriage bolt and my rattle gun to pull the center metal sleeve out and then pulled the rubber out with a pair of long-nosed pliers. Took me less than 5 minutes to pull each bushing. Once one gets the center metal sleeve out of the rubber, it is no problem after that. hobbywrench JAN 05, 10:28 AM Good pics...that's what I remember. Sometimes overnight blaster soak. Reused all old bolts even with some pitting. Had trouble finding new ones with proper strength/length/pitch. As always proper (perfect) matching of pusher rounds VERY important and probably the limitation and frustration of those without a large assortment of diameters and lip thickness. I was stalled several times trying to make a proper setup. Slipping off the target or pressing on both the bushing shell and A arm eye at same time is tricky. Deburr/clean/lube . A lathe is a valuable asset in this process . I still want one , but haven't yet.
