Does anyone know where I can find this tool?

[Martian]

Couldn't you just use a steering wheel puller and a large socket?

[boostedEG]

i dont remember if its mac or matco that sells them, but one of those companies carries it. i believe its $200. so if this is a one time thing you might try something like mentioned above. maybe a bigger 2 jaw puller with a big socket or seal driver type thing?

Apparently you can grab them from Snap-On, Matco, and Cornwell dealers.

Are you trying to save the bushing and reuse it Roger? If not then dont bother. That tool sucks. I usually cut the bushing section with a knife or saw, then cut a groove in the bushing sleeve to releive the pressure on it. Then they usually pop right out with a hammer. If they are really stubborn I will use my press. We had one of those tools at the dealer and they very rarely worked if the bushing was even slightly rusted in.

If you really want one, get a generic 2 hole steering wheel puller and weld on some arms.

I'll look at the other options. What I I'd like to do is not have to remove the trailing arm and take it to a machine shop (I don't have a press). I've already cut out the rubber and put a poly bushing in the stock sleeve, but I'd like to go back to an OEM-style rubber bushing or a spherical. I'm geting some wierd bahavior under hard cornering that I'm thinking could be due to the poly bushing not deflecting like a stock bushing. I'll have a guy I know check with the Snap-On truck tomorrow to see if they stock it. My bushing sleeve has been in there for over 100K miles, so it's probably pretty well stuck in there.

Tobi, then what do you use to put bushings in?

[HONDA GHANDI]

Depends on the bushing. Stock ones or Mugen bushings have to be pressed in with a locating/depth tool. Urethane bushings can be put in by hand or with a BFH.
