    Default NEED: Shop with press to press out bushings

    I am replacing the suspension bushings in my car and i have come to the conclusion it would be alot easier with a large press.

    Does anyone know of a shop that will press out my control arm bushings etc for me.

    thanks!

    Where you live/work? If you want i can press them out when I get a couple of minutes at work, either drop them off at my place or come by work and drop them off.

    Good find, actually. I never knew there were places you could rent a hoist, paint booth, air tools for use, ect.

    Will consider next time a big job comes up.

    u wrench is pretty decent,

    pressed out all my bushings for a whopping $10 they had everything i needed....

    It seem kind of ghetto but it gets the job done.... better than buying a $20 torch and making a mess imho



    anyways i would go back if need be
