    Just finished installing my ECGS Bushing, no need for the tool any more. $20+shipping, or local pickup in Richmond, TX (SW Houston). A precautionary word if you're doing the install: I hammered on the bushing too hard with a socket and rolled the inner edge over a little bit, so had to sand it down for CV to fit back in.

    Sounds like you might have installed the bushing the incorrect way. You should’ve been hammering on the flat side of the bushing.

    Double and triple checked I put it in the right way haha, but believe me that went through my head. I think my socket was a little too small and may have caught it at a weird angle.
