Hey Dan,

Just replaced the ones on my 79' 244DL with the homebrew tool and it took me about an hour per side. Took longer to get the springs out safely than it did to press out the bushings.

Tip: After you drop the springs, do one side at a time. I took both arms off and the axle was moving a bit when I cranked on the pressing tool. Put the other arm back in place and eliminated the movement.
