#32295, "RE: rear knuckle bushing replacement tools" In response to In response to 2 May-14-09 06:03 PM by DirtMegirt
Daes, the same thing happened with the ES bushing on the drivers side rear. How are the P's different? As far as what tools, I did all the rear bushings fron the ES kit the same. I scraped out most of the rubber so that the metal sleeve was exposed, used a hacksaw to cut across the circumference in two places about a 1/4" apart, pryed that piece out to relieve the pressure on the sleeve, and then popped that out. As far as installing them, I didn't have to use a press, just some of the lube in the ES kit and some elbow grease. Of course a metric socket set and wrenches are useful. If you use this method, be careful not to damage the surfaces that the new bushing goes into by cutting to far with the hacksaw.
