Wishbone front bush removal tool

[Andy A]

Can any one recommend a cheap tool to remove the front wishbone bushes so I can replace with Powerflex?

The wishbones are new ATP as recommended.

Thanks

Remove the rubber with either a blowtorch or drilling lots of holes in it. Remove the metal sleeve with a hacksaw.

I have one:





but it's cobbled together out of Scrapbinium and a bearing puller set.


If you're only doing a pair of wishbones, butcher the old bushes out by drilling the rubber as much as you can, then carefully cut the sleeves out with a hacksaw. I can still smell the only rubber bush I tried burning out, and that wasn't even this century. Cutting them will take less time too.

A suitably sized hole saw makes short work of the core, then use a decent hacksaw to slice the outer tube

Hacksaw, drill, and pry bar.

Drill alround the bush, pry out the inner, then hacksaw thro the steel (sleeve) just stopping before you cut into wish bone, then pry out the sleeve(bush) clean up then put ya powerflex in with  some copper slip.

Thanks all I guess its a quick and cheap way of doing it.
