Lower link bushing

[Crispyc]

Can anyone tell me what a suitable tool for removing the lower link bushing would be? I tried to tap it out using a large socket and it did not budge.

For the rear, correct?? The most common method is to burn it out with a torch. I haven't done it myself, but they are famous for being quite stubborn...

I had to use a decent size Hydraulic press to replace mine but a torch would also make easy work of it.

On the front actualy. The part that the four studs for the lower ball joint bolt onto.

The lower control arm?? Different nomenclature.

 

Unfortunately, I believe the answer remains the same.

They do not need changing often and are a pain to deal with IIRC.

Can you set it up on a hydraulic press?

Hydraulic press. Sockets should work for dies in a pinch. No press? BLOWTORCH!!!! Then re-install with a vise if they are press ins.
