Tools for bushings?

[eacmen]

Huh, I've done it a few times and the soap made it super easy, but good to know. The tool is probably good to have around.

Maybe I’m just not as swol as the rest of y’all!

Granted the first time I ever had to use the tool was for those fucking Turner monoballs. After that awful experience I had the tool so used em for all the FCABs done since then.

I get that. It's like when I break out my DeWalt 12" chop saw and cut every piece of wood I can throw at it. If I buy a tool, I use it.

A couple videos my buddy took last weekend when I was doing some bushing replacement on my wifes E46, I just loaded them so the HD version is still processing.

Certainly not hard if you have the right tools and/or experience. Here I don't have the "right" tools, but I've done dozens and dozens enough to make it work. Also my portable hydraulic ram makes it easy once I get the cups, shims and sockets setup correctly.

That’s fantastic! Never seen a hydraulic ram like that. Looks very handy.
