Taylor, this was legit. I just spent $6 at the hardware store, and used a socket and tools from the house. After about a week of trying to source proper tools to rent at the parts store. The second method took me like 10 minutes to remove both sides. Thanks.

@genematsushita258 Год назад

Spent $100 on tools with no success and used your two methods and succeeded in a few minutes. Thanks!!!!!

@altimatic2183 4 года назад

this was helpful thanks. I was able to get a bushing out of my rear lower arm without even removing the control arm

@PimpedPrevia 4 года назад

Thanks mate Got a bunch of bushings to remove, highly appreciate your video! Gonna help me tackle the job

@dirkjeanis7901 3 года назад

Another tip for you: Always set the moving part of the "press" against the side of the part you want to move. In the first example you had the clamp "reversed". I can't explain the physics but it does make a difference as the force is directly applied to the direction of movement.

Peace and Love Thank you kindly for displaying your expertise and skill. This is a much needed skill/method for a diy'er like myself. Stay dirty and efficient...

@3613jeremy 3 года назад

I like that second idea definitely inventive I've always used a bench vice and sockets then added heat as necessary

@willmills1370 4 года назад

Thanks for the ideas. I'm almost at this point with my old Trans Am; I have the bushings but dealing with new wheel seals and brake plates now. I was going to bring the control arms to a shop to use a press, but I have everything needed to do it myself. Keep up the videos !! Stay safe.

@RoundHeadlightLife 4 года назад

Thanks for posting. I'm helping a guy who has only marginally less mechanical skills than I do, matched only by the lack of bucks in his pocket. We now have a decent idea of what we are getting into. It seems straight forward enough but wish us luck.

NICE JOB!!! YOU'VE SHOWN ALOT OF PEOPLE A VERY EASY AND INEXPENSIVE WAY TOO GET AROUND THAT ISSUE. MY HATS OFF TOO YOU. I'VE SEEN ALOT OF INDIVIDUALS ON RU-vid WHO HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE SHOWING PEOPLE. A FEW CAN'T EVEN READ THE DIRECTIONS ON HOW TOO USE TOOLS THEY BUY. AND THEN THEY SAY THE TOOL IS JUNK AND THROW THE TOOL AWAY. SO TOO YOU I SAY KEEP IT UP....

The one and only time I told my wife how much I saved repairing her car myself, $200 bucks was missing from my wallet the next day and my wife came home with a perm and some new shoes. Now I just hire a mechanic to work on her car.

I've been married 30 years. Acquiesce...kinda... Try this. "Hey, would you make me a sammich? Hand her $100 (small town) Then you can go shopping.". LOOK BEFORE YOU SUGGEST NAILS. NEVER SAY GET YOUR HAIR DONE. I can eat, get the house to myself. I wash parts in the dish washer and dry brass in the oven. I hate washing parts and waiting for brass to dry. It's worth the $100. *If you're married, ask her, some how ya both pay. I know you're all princes. Me, I'm an azzhole and know it. She earned that $100 many times over. And she watches Law An Order, 48 hours, Live P.D. Sleeping with both eyes closed is real sleeping.

@jimmykeith7542 4 года назад

My 64 Galaxie is a handful 😆 . Broke one of my lower control arms. Where the bigger bushing goes in. I used a press but it was bent a bit. Seemed to be straight but blew the steel out when trying to press in new. So i ordered a better press tool.

@andyrachman5272 6 лет назад

Thanks Buddy, i use with C Clamp for this methode & piece a pipe (thickness +/- 4mm, diameter 3.5 inch) other side for pusher i use socket wrench 14mm, its work.....good option for u video.

@BudgetBuildGarage 6 лет назад

I like keeping some random pieces of pipe around for stuff like this. It comes in handy.

@andyrachman5272 6 лет назад

@RalphCloud 2 года назад

@jaafarmohddin7625 3 года назад

Thank for your info

@tonydavis190 5 лет назад

When installing the bushing, it's important that you only apply force on the outer steel sleeve of the bushing; Pressing in on the inner sleeve of the bushing may result in it becoming torn from the rubber, thus destroying the bushing.

@markarnold371 5 лет назад

True, I wouldn't use a socket to drive the bushing through on installation. You need something flat that will cover the entire outer surface to spread the force. Using large washers on each side rather than the socket would work better and potentially cause less damage.
