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

Luke -

As an alternative to creating your own tool, there's a guy called Duane Hoberg (a regular if infrequent contributor to the BB) who has the factory tool... he rents it out for $35 + shipping. He's worked with a local machine shop and made a couple subtle modifications to it that make it very efficient to use... I used it just a couple weeks ago with very good results.

If you plan accordingly, you could rent the thing and do both cars at the same time (well, ok, not at EXACTLY the same time).

If your goal is some sort of self-edification through making your own tool, then that's great, go for it! I wish you complete success. However if your goal is to merely get the bushings replaced in your cars, you may want to consider contacting Duane.

BTW, he usually goes by the moniker, "The OD Guru".

Just a thought.
