Crispyc Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 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... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wd21overland Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I had to use a decent size Hydraulic press to replace mine but a torch would also make easy work of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispyc Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 On the front actualy. The part that the four studs for the lower ball joint bolt onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 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? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hydraulic press. Sockets should work for dies in a pinch. No press? BLOWTORCH!!!! Then re-install with a vise if they are press ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
