Hi,

I have been planning on doing some front suspension work and I need to replace the rear control arm bushings (the ones that are pressed in the bracket).

I have used the HF 20 ton Press and a 3/4" drive metric socket set (as pushers/receivers) for most bushings, but from looking at the Bentley manual it seems I am going to have a hurdle due to the shape of the control arm bracket. I figure I won't have enough room for the sockets.

Has anyone used this press to push out those bushings and if so what tips can you offer?

Thanks,
Travis
