Leaf Spring Bushing Remove I Made

[muthstryker]

Hey guys,

Alot of guys were telling me it wasn't going to work and I was wasting my time and money, well im a hard head and am always out to prove people wrong, Kind of get off on it. So I figured I would show you the Leafspring bushing remover tool I made, Spent less then 1 minute per bushing taking them out. I know a lot of people burn them out then take a hacksaw to the metal sleeve. That wasn't going to work for me, I didnt like the idea of melting rubber in the garage. I wanted to get a video so you guys could see just how fast it was but didnt have a cameraman handy!

Bought all the stuff from my work to do this..

2x6" Nipple
2" Coupling
2"-1" Reducer
1"-1/2" Reducer
1/2" Threaded Rod
1/2" Nuts
1/2" Washers

Cut up the handle of a shucks jack for a spacer.




Hell of a lot cheaper then paying a shop to do it. 25$s with my employee discount.

Whoops, Never put how it works.. Basically its like a ball joint press, threaded rod goes through the bushing and through the hole in the reducer, washer then nut on that end. On the other side it was bushing-washers-spacer-washer-nut.
