tools

If any one is interested, made a fixture for pressing bushings into and out of the rear A arms. One end has a larger hole for the large end and the other smaller for the outer end. This way no loads passed through the arm. I don't know if they would distort if load passed through but why take a chance, plus I got to use some tools and scrap metal. The mandrel for the press has a guide pin to keep the bushing straight and a recess you can't see in the photo so only pressing on outer metal edge of bushing.

Looks a bit over-engineered to me :D

Thanks for posting! I bought an Arbor press for the rear arms but always wanted to use my
hydraulic. Thanks for the ideas.
