    Hey, anyone have the install and removal tool to do the ECGS bushing install? Looking to buy both if you've done the install and no longer need the tools.

    If you find someone willing to part with there ecgs tools I might be interested in acquiring them from you when you're done with them.

    I just ordered the Bushing and Tool. When I'm done with the tool I could send it to you for a fee.

    That's cool. I haven't even ordered the bushing yet. How much did shipping cost you to Alberta? I'm debating ordering it to my house or shipping it to just south of the border and drive to pick it up.

    I had it shipped to the border. I need to get my new bumper from the US new week anyways. Shipping was free because I had a promo code. I can't remember where I got the code from though.

    Looks like I'll be picking up my new bushing and seal within the next week or so. My order arrived at the border. I just have to go pick it up. Would anyone be willing to lend me their removal tool???

    How did the install go? Vibrations all gone?
    What were you thinking for the tool?

    For shipping and 20 bucks, the tool is yours. I can let you know shipping if you give me your postal code.

    Vibes are totally gone.

    The install went fine. I didn't disconnect the tie rod or pull the CV from the front spindle which slowed things down a bit. It took a while to pry out the CV and to get the bushing hammered in but everything went back together fine. Just take your time.

    My postal code is R2G 4B9 in Winnipeg. Let me know what shipping is. Slow shipping is okay. Lol. I still have to drive down to the border to pick up my parts.

    I'll be removing my entire lower control arms when I'm doing this. My caster bolts are seized and I can't get an alignment since lifting. Got new LCA assemblies and caster adjustment bolts from MOOG. Figure it shouldn't be too bad to get the needle bearing out with everything out of the way.

    Any chance of the dimensions of this tool floating around. Have access to a mill and lathe at work so I'm sure i could make one if I had the specs.
