Re: Home made bushing removal tools.. Anyone got any plans?? 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Luke Healey on  Wed May 16 04:58 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Actually, are there any pictures of the Volvo tool?>

Mainly I would just use the press to get the torque rod bushings out

and devise some sort of threaded rod driven puller to get at the torque rods (leaving them on the car)

but I don't have a full understanding of what the volvo tool entails..

couldn't you just make a device (excust the ASCII art) that looks like:

pulling side:

nut small socket

and then have for the receiving side:

larger piece of pipe to fit the bushing into

pipe washer nut (to be wrenched on)


a couple flat washers to use for support

and a big nut to wrench on to pull your socket thru the trailing arm?

Or am I totally dreaming here? :)
