Hey guys, the local shops want $12 - $15 to remove/ install EACH bushing on my controls arms (front) . I was thinking of buying a press from harbor freight and doing it myself. Do you know if this particular one will work??? Any adaptors needed???


thanks!!!

6 Ton A-Frame Bench Shop Press
 
Press

I have the 20 ton. It is useless for the bushings. Great on pressing in the lower ball joint. I did it the old fashion way with a BFH and some common sense. Use a proper sized thingy(short piece of pipe, coupling what ever works) to fit over the rubber part of the bushing and a flat piece of steel over that to beat on. I did my 2001 Jimmy and it worked fine.
