Yeah, please share. These were my "spare" A arms, I've got at least one other set that needs to be replaced, so I expect to do it again. I may not be so lucky the next time.

I was not really planning to press them out on sunday or I might have posted for advice. I happened to have the press outside because I was moving it into the garage (was in the basement) I was waiting for the clear-coat on my freshly polished clutch slave cylinder to dry, so I gave the bushings a go and was very happily surprised.

considering the previous warnings, I'm not sure I could actually use the this press to apply enough force to really risk deforming the A-arms. I did use a big socket to push them the rest of the way out.

It sounds like I'm going to put in the rubber lower bushings that I already have (nice for my pocketbook). I'll look at poly end-link and upper A-bushings for the rest of the rebuild.

Thanks!
