HR bar and bushing tool

[turbo nasty]

Got the HR bar installed (been in for a bit) and what a difference, whole car is different. Just backing out of the driveway is different changing lanes, cloverleafs, etc.
I LOVE IT!!!

As far as the bushing tool goes the website says...to quote it directly
"The Tool PULLS the bushing out and also PULLS it into the ears, and does this in under 2 minutes with an air ratchet."

Well DO NOT use a air ratchet, it goes too fast and if the tool does not stay square and gets in a bind a lil the threaded rod will bend. I called and was a bit pi$$ed about the tool be cause its not cheap.
Explained that the website say use a air ratchet and i did and no where in the instructions does it advise against it nor say to be careful with teh tool getting in a bind.
Had to email Paul and hae sent me out a new rod free of charge.
The tool makes short work in comparison to torch or drill/BFH method. But the instructions/advertisement could have a bit more heads up. The big washer that you use with the bearing bent even with a hand ratchet.

Bar get a 10
Tool gets a 6

Great to hear on the bar. I purchased one a couple weeks ago from Paul and am working to put it on. Paul was a great guy to deal with. I had a question on 2 items and received quick responses, one with a pic. Can't wait till the weather breaks that I can get out and try it.

Well since you're done with the bushing tool, let me know if you want to sell it.

Ive got a Hurst olds, T type and another GN to do and then I may just consider selling it.

i also give the bar a 10.. works very well

i usually use a drill and drill out the rubber in the bushings and then use an air hammer to knock the old bushings out... takes a few mins also
